Location Recce.

All filming will take place in and around my own home.
This is suitable to my film, as it has plenty of bedrooms (on either side, useful if I need the sun to be in a certain place for lighting purposes) and all the other rooms you would expect from a typical house. It is in an area of countryside, and also next to the sea, making it an ideal location to track the movement of the sun from for my time-lapsed sequences. It also cuts down on travel time and expenses, making it a very efficient location for filming, and I do not need any permission to film here.
All I will need to film here is a camera and a tripod, of which I have my own. the camera is battery operated, negating the risk of wires causing me to trip.
The house has a plentiful supply of electricity, for if I need to charge the camera battery, and is an ideal place to work over extended periods of time, since I have access to plenty of food and water while there.
The house is empty through the day, providing me with ideal filming conditions without any worries of being interrupted or indeed, interrupting others.
As I am not using the sound track from the recording, I do not need to worry about sound interference, and since I am the only person working on my film I do not need to worry about making sure other group members have access to the building.
