As we were unable to do a location reccie before hand, we were very lucky with how easy it was to find locations; pretty much everywhere you turned had postcard potential. We also found a beautiful little stream which we used that I think will look great. Steve managed to get hold of the front of a TV which was great because it will massively improve the look of the piece.
As said, all went well. Until the camera screen packed up within the first hour of shooting. Still, despite the fact that the view finder makes it a lot harder to correctly expose and focus our image, it could have been a lot lot worse.
If we were to do the whole thing again, I think I would definitely have gone for an actor in the piece instead of myself. Even though the nature of our film meant that I could still have just as much input the shots, there were occasions in which, to match up two shots, I had to remain in position. This meant that for a couple of shots, I was unable to check the camera, which is a little annoying.
