Location Scouting

For my fifth assignment in cinematography, I had to do a location scout of the location I was shooting my final assignment for. The final assignment was shooting a film for someone in the directing class. Here's how I scouted out the location. We had to scout the location both creatively and technically. Creatively we needed to decide what angles would be good and work well for the story, but also which angles wouldn't work as well. Here's what I came up with.

GOOD ANGLES

BAD ANGLES

 

As far as the technical scout, I had to find out where there were available power outlets as well as how the sun interacts with the location. I plotted where the sun would be in the sky during different times of the day in relation to the set.
