Shooting A Space

We wanted to shoot at a location that represents New York City, and what better place to do that than Central Park. We needed to find somewhere relatively close and were lucky enough to find a spot right on 68th street. When we walked in the park we immediately noticed a Gazebo perched atop a hill surrounded by some rocks. One of those little spots in the park that are so great to stumble upon. We knew we had to shoot it, but how? We decided to take some surrounding shots to get a feel of what it was like from a distance. After that, we took some shots of the path leading up to the structure to show the walk up to it. We finished with some close ups of the Gazebo from the rocks and a panoramic shot of the inside of the Gazebo. I found it a lot more difficult to shoot a space than I originally thought. There are no actors or action to help you out. The space has to tell the story, and that was the challenging part. We wanted to give our audience a feel for what this structure was like from all sides and angles, and we accomplished that as best we could.
