Mark and I decided to meet up and look into ideas for the project.
Before this session I thought of an idea which involved following an object, such as a map blowing in the wind and capturing it like a journey sequence similar to the opening sequence of Forest Gump. I researched the Forest Gump opening sequence finding that they had used a crane as well as a stedicam and used a CGI created feather in making this sequences power, and considering the timeframe of a day for this filming I ruled this as unrealistic!
In the meeting we discussed the idea of using an actor to be at one with nature and have the audience follow them around the landscape showing its beauty. We kept this idea and decided that Mark would act and I would film.
We then used google maps to scout out the location and some of the beauty it had to offer. However due to google earth being birds eye view and only being 2D we were limited in what we could scout out in the location. This was a problem that we had to work around and did this by creating a shot list in which we predicted some of the basic natural beauty such as rivers, waterfalls, trees and hills (which we knew about as this was the Peak District) therefore we were able, to a certain extent, plan around the lack of location knowledge and still predict a storyline.
