Post 12 - Location Scouting

I researched a lot of places where I could film my final piece. I came up with a few places where I could film and those are:

Essex County Cricket Club
Wymondham Leisure Centre
Swardeston Cricket Club
Wymondham High School Academy

The main venue where I set my short film was at the Essex County Cricket Club. I am lucky enough to already play for Essex Womens 1stX. this gave me very easy access to the ground and I was lucky enough to walk out onto the pitch with permission at our media day. I also used the Wymondham Leisure Centre as another location for my film. This location is very easy to access for me as it is right next to my school, approximately a 10 second walk. the hall was very large so I could do lots of filming in there, without taking up the whole hall. the location for me was very easy to find and get a hold of.

I then realised it would be so much easier if I acted in the short film myself. From then on in, I started to film myself during all my training sessions and all my gym sessions because I knew, the more footage I had, the easier it would be to put the film together. I used members of the public who willingly said they'd help to be in my film and lend a hand. Finally, my peers also helped to be in my film, through school and cricket. They were mainly in the sequences that were filmed at school so it wasn't too bad to get them to come and do it, as I did it during our lessons so we were all free.
