Filming.

We went to Knepp Castle to film our piece, we were really pleased with the location apart from the lake where we had planned to film a large amount of footage. Up close the lake didn't create the effect we were looking for, and would not fit with our desired mise-en-scene. Therefore we decided to choose two different locations which we had not planned on using, but took advantage of as we were in such a unique place which was ideal for our genre.
Another set back we had was that there was some maintenance work taking place at the same time we were there, and there was loud machinary being used. This interrupted our filming, to combat this we filmed additional footage of the natural sound when the machinary was not in use. There was also a strong wind throughout the day which interfeered with the sound quality as the mirocphone was on the camera.
We were pleased with our actress and costume, Tessa, our actress fitted in with the location and followed our directions well which added to the realism and effect that we wanted to create.
