Recce (Location Scouting) - Woodland Walk, Downham/Bromley

Transport/Access

There are two types of public transport; two bus stops. One going towards Bromley and the other going towards Lewisham. There is also Beckenham Train Station, which is 15 minutes away (if walking).
Car parking is also available as there is no set time for how long you can park your car for.


Camera/Sound
The Woodland is near a busy road and a quiet road. We will be shooting from the quieter side so viewers are able to hear what the characters are saying. If they cannot be heard, we can use voice overs.
There will be no supply of power there as we will be in a small forest-like place.

Food
There are many shops on the high street, such as an Off License, Supermarkets (M&S, Co-Op, Tesco Express) and Fast Food (McDonald's, KFC, Favorites Chicken, etc.).

Communication
There will be mobile signal where we are so we are able to communicate with our team.

Emergency/Aid
If we are in a emergency and need aid, there is a secondary school near by (approx. 5 mins) to help.

Lighting
The lighting varies, as the woodland walk is full of trees and still looks dark during the day. This is just what we need because one of scenes has/needs a 'dark and lonely road surrounded by forest'. Additional lighting will not be required.

Problem
Inside of the Woodland Walk, are ditches on two sides that run through the whole chain. This could be a problem for filming, when the camera person wants to get a good angle, they may fall into the ditch and hurt themselves. A way to prevent this is to try and film different angles on the pathway.

Pictures of Location

This is the front of the Woodland Walk, which is right by the main road and shops.


















These two images are the back of the Woodland Walk, which is near the secondary school and is better for filming as the road is quiet and empty.
