Location Scouting 3

This is quite a secluded location, however it can look fairly romantic depending on the time of day and  whether there is suitable lighting. This could be used for shots of the couple messing around and splashing each other in the water, or sitting and talking. Logistically the location may mean a few hazards in terms of risk of the actors slipping over and hurting themselves. Therefore if I do use this location I will have to make sure the actors are especially careful to try and prevent injury, also the ground is quite uneven and could mean tripping.












This is a screenshot taken from the romance film 'The Best of Me'. As you can see this wooded location is fairly similar to my location above. Many romance films use locations like this because they are perceived as romantic because they are thought of as scenic and beautiful. Here we see the two protagonists alone in this location dancing which the audience will think is romantic. It is important that my location is quiet if I include shots like this so the love interests can be alone together as this is far more romantic than them being surrounded by lots of people in a busy, urban location.
