Portfolio Project: Lamp Post

One of the shooting locations that Bailey and I discussed was a lamppost that I know of. The only problem with this lamppost is that it is slightly near a neighborhood and we may cause a disturbance considering we will have to shoot at night time. Thus, Bailey and I will have to put forth an effort to film in a quiet manner as to not disturb residents. I don't believe it will be too big of an issue since it is not directly adjacent to any houses, but if we are loud, we may be a nuisance to some people. Another issue with the lamppost is that it has a large road in front of it that may be hard to film in since cars will be coming every so often, leading us to mess up our shot. However, if we go late enough in the night, there will be an extremely small amount of cars that would pass by, allowing us to get the shot that we need. This detail is important as we plan to dolly backwards from a close-up on Homer's face. If cars are at a minimum, we can go slightly into the street to capture the shot that we need. In order to better understand the layout of this lamppost where a lot of the film will be taking place, I attached a Google Maps photo of the location below.



Google maps' photos are slightly outdated so at this point in time, there are more houses along the path depicted here.
