Several weekends ago I was Hamstead Heath. I chose this park because of Parliament Hill, the highest point in London. Here Paul spends the night, and awakes to see London below him.
I did not find the images I wanted so more on that later.
But I was also interested in looking for locations for Claire's story: the final scene of her part, where she pursues Nick into the park.
This requires a location where several paths cross:
I remembered this location from when I lived nearby. It is not ideal, as one path looks up (to Parliament Hill), not down. I will look for another crossing the next time I am back.
I have Claire entering from the right, then turning her back to the camera and looking to the background and left. From this crossing she is able to see in three different directions and Nick is nowhere to be seen (this is the way I set it up in the workshop before Christmas).
Weary, defeated, she wants to surrender.
She turns to the grass (where the camera is set) and comes towards it. She almost collapses.
She scans the night sky, but it is a gray nothing. No relief anywhere (I have some video of this idea I shot in the summer).
Then the iconic look. She looks directly at us/the camera. A drawing I made from the workshop video:
(as you can see there is no danger of me ever getting a job as a storyboard artist)
