Location Scouting

Myself and my photographer had been discussing ideas for Location. We both wanted an outdoors location, which relates to our narrative and the narrative of A Midsummer Nights Dream which is based around nature. We looked at Slades Farm woods which is located close to university, however this is often used in many projects and also is very dense in trees and will be quite muddy (unless we don't get rain on the rare occasion this winter) so taking lighting, conditions etc into consideration we needed to look elsewhere.

We then travelled to the New Forest upon the advice of our fashion collaboration. Looking at Burley we found some great trees covered in moss (see below and left) and also some twisted branches which were an interesting shape.
 One of the concerns we did have was the fact that we are basing our shoot around summer and it is very autumnal in colour scheme at the moment. Within the month we were hoping the leaves may almost disintegrate down into a colourless mud almost and that we could also filter the colour orange out of the shoot
