Locations

Scafell Pike

Scafell pike is one of, if not the most important locations to be featured in my product, as this is the main goal or height of my planned product. I chose this location specifically as it has been one of my aspirations to one day climb the three peaks, therefore when I put myself in a position to create a Mental health documentary about achieving your goals, I thought what better way to round off the entire product, than to fulfill part of my aspirations and climb one of the three peaks. When filming at the location, I aim to climb the peak with a friend to show a generic chat between two mates and hopefully break down barriers to have a deeper conversation with them about their mental health and how the challenge and filming have helped or had an impact on my own mental health. Throughout ,my time filming at the location, I aim to use camera work to capture the motion of the scenes, whether it be using establishing shots from the top of the peaks or the sun on the horizon as I feel these kinds of shots will have an impact to let the viewer allow for their emotions to sink in and feel the beauty of the scenery despite them not actually being their. For this location, there is definitely a lot of potential hazards that I feel I will have to evaluate due to the nature of the terrain. These will be evaluated in a risk assessment before I travel to the location.


House

The second location I plan to film at for this product, is in and around my house. A reason for filming around my house, is that I feel it is a comfortable environment where there isn’t much going on so I can engage with the camera and my audience well. At my house, I aim to film a majority of piece to cameras, where I will be sat taking about various men’s mental health stats and figures. During this time, this is where I will start my product and set the tone of my product overall. The surrounding area of this location will also be key for my product, as I will be documenting outside of my house as I go running etc. However, this location won’t take up the majority of my product, as the main feature will be my trip to Scaffell Pike.
