Recce Report

Location scouting and preparation:


Name: The Wooden House

Address: 
The Wooden House
Twenty Pence Road
Cottenham, Cambridgeshire
CB24 8SP

Description
This is not only where Wesley lives, but also where he works, which is even more reason to interview him here. His house is on the outskirts of Cottenham, and is a large yellow wooden house he constructed himself. His garden is full of many models and sculptures he has produced, and he has a workshop in there due to him working from home.

Preperation
I have been contacting Wesley via Hotmail, and have sent him the questions, discussed times, dates, and how we plan to shoot for the film.

I plan to shoot it on Wesley's property, as this is where the majority of his work is kept, and will give the audience an insight into his life, household, and living/working environment.

Before emailing Wesley to find out if we could shoot there, I knew I wanted to use the house, as I had driven past many times before, and the property is an attractive bright yellow building. I have also found pictures of the house on websites linked to Wesley's work, and on Google maps. 

Before shooting the short documentary we spoke over lunch in his home. He also gave us a tour of  his home, and showed us his the majority of his work and models. This was helpful as we got to know him and his household better, and therefore can be more prepared when it comes to shooting the film.
