The second half of my footage requires filming in a Victorian setting, and I debated about filming in either Trinity Square, or in the Street Life Museum.
Trinity Square would have the benefit of natural outdoor lighting and great use of establishing shots. Also more open space to go and film in different areas. On the other hand, for a Victorian street it would need a few extras to make it look more realistic, and that would require more actors who may not be available. I am also a bit weary about filming in a public place with expensive equipment such as a camera and tripod.
If I filmed in the Street Life museum, I would film in the street area with the Victorian shops as there are many Victorian props around here and there is a huge window behind where the camera would be so it would be well-lit, and there are shop doorways and little hallways where characters could walk into and out of to end and begin shots.
I think I'll most likely film at the Street Life museum as it would be the most realistic and appropriate. I just need to contact them and ask for permission.
