film viewing over past month

• Where do you watch films? I usually watch films at home or at the cinema. e.g. East Dulwich Picture House or the Ritzy. • What devices do you use to watch films? How does this change the viewing experience? My laptop or projector screen at home. When I watch films on my projector screen the experience with the film is more interactive - I usually enjoy the film more as there is surround sound speakers and the screen is larger. Whereas, when I watch films on my laptop I do not always connect with the film in the same way and tend to get distracted more easily. • Are there certain films you prefer to see at the cinema?

She feels as though her approach is different as this is not something that is usually seen on mainstream media.

One of my locations is Richmond park, which I visited in order to take these photos and videos. I chose Richmond park because it is very big with lots of open space, meaning that I will be able to film the part where Grace runs around the grass easily without there being too many other people around. I also especially like the Isabella plantation, where I will shoot some of the film as it is very cinematic. Whilst I found that in terms of sound, it is very windy and would be difficult to hear speech over the wind, the scene that I am filming here is purely voice over, which means that sound isn't an issue.
