Edale

Edale

For production skills, we went on a shoot to Edale with a brief that stated a character called Sam went to Edale to escape their every day life in Sheffield and something happens to them there that changes them before they return to Sheffield.

Our group decided to go for an more unusual approach to the story; we decided that Edale was not an actual place, merely somewhere Sam had made up in her head because the character had mental issues. 

We used a zoom to record sounds while we were there - some atmospheric sounds and things like footsteps or the water in the stream, other more unusual sounds such as using the contact microphone on a metal wire. We also filmed a lot of close-ups on Sam to give the impression that the audience we in her head space, almost being intrusive.
