Chosen Location

Heron Lakes is situated on the main road leading to Routh in East Yorkshire as it part of a luxury lodge park. The park is set in a 75 acre natural habitat and wildlife haven containing 4 large lakes and an abundance of wildlife.
I originally researched Heron Lakes using the Internet to find specific information regarding its address and telephone number. The images supplied by the company on the website show how ideal the location is to my particular music video. To further research the location in my personal time I visited the park itself to ensure the location was as idyllic as it was portrayed on the website.
During my college term break (30/10/12) I visited the location and it proved to be as beautiful and peaceful as shown on the website and appeared to be the perfect location for my music video. The park offered the choice of 4 different lakes; the Boating lake, Course fishing lake, Carp lake and Trout lake as well as  a natural pond placed at the back of the complex. As the main attraction of this holiday park is fishing small bridges are situated along the river bank of each pond which is exactly what I wanted to use, this fits in exactly with my storyboard and the shots I wanted to use.

Clearly the only problem with this location is that it is private property meaning I would have to request permission from the land owner. The reception inside the park primarily accepted my request but said I would have to still ask Ian White the main owner of the park. After a telephone call thankfully the owner accepted and sent me in the post many Heron Lake leaflets showing the whole park, he claimed he was happy to let me film my music video in his lodge park as it would be good for the business's advertisement.


The images are photographs taken by myself during my first stage of filming (02/11/12).
