Introduction
In this blog post I am going to researching into and discuss possible ideas for what church I can film in. I will gathers ideas, images and request for permission to film in different locations. The main location that I need is a church, due the narrative revolving around one. Apart for the church I am currently unsure where else I will film.
Location Option One - Hildenborough

Hildenborough church is a large church, which could work either to my advantage or disadvantage. The size of it could help to make the space look eery and lonely. However, I feel it could just end up looking like it was too large for the setting with a small cast. Losing the inmate style of the song. This location would also require me to drive there are is hard to get to via public transport. Hildenborough church also has a lot of technology installed, such a projector screens and speakers, which also I could use if they were in shoot would look ugly and ruin the rustic vibe.
Location Option Two - Underriver

Underriver church is a really small and immate location. It is a set a rural village. This is a very traditional looking church, with a really beautiful church yard. The outside location is very traditional to due the village setting. Its a really small location which I really I could easily make look full with a church party if I needed to film shoots like that. I would have easy access to this location as it is my local church.
Location Option Three - Shipbourne

Shipbourne church is very long and thin, which would allow for very drama sweep shoots up and down the long isle. However, overall the church I quite large so I would face similar issue as with Hildenborough church. The outside location is very large and set on a hill, which make really unusual and more interesting than my more locations in that respects.
Location Option Four - Abandoned Church
My fourth location is my most usual, however could be the most interesting. I have be told by one of my media studies class mates of an abandoned church remains in a woodland near Edenbridge. He has visited this before and recommended it to me and a filming locationing. I find that this would be a really drama location to film in. However, it would be hard to church this church and very weather dependant. It will also be hard to find the ownership of the church to seek permission to use it to film on.
Conclusion
In conclusion I feel that Underriver church would be the best church to film in for a variety of reasons that I have already discussed. I would also like to attempt to find and gain access to film in the abandoned church. However, this may not be possible.
Permission
I had to email the Underriver church Vicar to check that I could gain permission to film there.
This is the email I sent:
This was her reply:
I have permission to film in the church!
The Vicar also mentioned an issue with low light levels in the church which I will need to check pre-filming.
The abbonned church will take more time to be able to location and gain access too.
