For this scene, I have decided to use the playground next to my house. Not only it’s convenient but also the colours of the playground are fun which is what I’m looking for.
However, for the shoot to work, I’ll need to make sure to go during the morning and when there’s sunlight which is a bit hard during the colder season. I’ll also have to make sure that there are no kids around because I don’t want to get any children into my film. For artistic reasons and also because I don’t have the parent’s consent to have their child in my project. I’ve been looking at the weather and the playground usage and I think I can come up with a perfect time window to film at it.
If it does not work out, I can find another playground close by which is not as busy.
It’s quite a short scene so it’ll take under 1 hour to film, we don’t really need a power source as we’re using natural lighting. Another reason that I chose this playground is that I can see it from my balcony so I can have a “crane” shot of the playground and use it as my opening scene. The atmosphere is perfect and what I’m looking for.
UPDATE:
I'm not using this location anymore.
