Shooting The Trailer

Our chosen filming location was Canford Heath, an area we knew had all the landscape features we were looking for: heath land, sandy areas and paths, and forest.

This is an example of one of the areas in Canford Heath we used. You can see the sandy path which we used for some walking scenes, and further down is a sandy area which would stand in for "desert", seen in the next photo.

In this particular shot the weather is clear, and the sun is out, but the weather wasn't as fine as this throughout the day.

From a different angle, you can see the actors' positions.

In this scene, the director is filming over another actor's shoulder.

This was a possible area for a tracking shot.












Greatly underestimating how long everything would take to film, we unrealistically assumed we could get it all done in a day! The actual filming ended up taking about six days, with many breaks in between thanks to people not being available, the weather not holding up etc.
