The Desolate First Shoot

My first shoot for 'The Desolate' took place on the 5th October 2013. Below are images that have been taken from archived files from the first shoot.

The timing and environment of the shoot was essential to the filming process and in capturing the correct shots. I had waited for a day where it was sunny outside. Finding sunlight in London in October is a major challenge, but fortunately it fell on this day. With the afternoon sun, I set about shooting my film. The sunlight was essential to the filming, as I wanted to lull the audience into a false sense of security before the depth of the plot begins to unravel. Although I was able to capture some great shots on this day, I was aware that the early setting sun would be an issue. As a result, I designated two full days on which I could film. This first shoot however was perhaps the most crucial to the film as the core of the movies shots would originate from this day.
