Editing I Know Where I'm Going! (section)

===Filming===
Shooting took place on the [[Isle of Mull]] and at [[Denham Film Studios]].

It was the second and last collaboration between the co-directors and [[cinematographer]] [[Erwin Hillier]] (who shot the entire film without a [[light meter]]).<ref name="IKWIG Revisited">In the documentary ''I Know Where I'm Going Revisited'' (1994) on the Criterion DVD</ref>

The heroine of the film is trying to get to "Kiloran", but nobody ever gets there. From various topographical references and a map briefly shown in the film, it is clear that the Isle of Kiloran is based on [[Colonsay]], south of Mull. The name Kiloran was borrowed from one of Colonsay's bays, Kiloran Bay. No footage was shot on Colonsay.

One of the most complex scenes shows the small boat battling the Corryvreckan whirlpool. This was a combination of footage shot at Corryvreckan between the Hebridean islands of [[Scarba]] and [[Jura, Scotland|Jura]], and Bealach a'Choin Ghlais ([[Sound (geography)|Sound]] of the Grey Dogs) between Scarba and [[Lunga, Firth of Lorn|Lunga]].<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.whirlpool-scotland.co.uk/ | title = The Corryvreckan Whirlpool – Scotland's maelstrom | access-date=17 January 2020}}</ref>
*There are some long-distance shots looking down over the area, shot from one of the islands.
*There are some middle-distance and close-up shots that were made from a small boat with a hand-held camera.
*There were some model shots, done in the tank at the studio. These had gelatin added to the water so that it would hold its shape better and would look better when scaled up. 
*The close-up shots of the people in the boat were all done in the studio, with a boat on gimbals being rocked in all directions by some hefty studio hands while others threw buckets of water at them. These were filmed with the shots made from the boat with the hand-held camera projected behind them.
*Further trickery joined some of the long- and middle-distance shots together with those made in the tank into a single frame.<ref name=Powell480> Powell (1986) p. 480</ref>

Though much of the film was shot in the Hebrides, Livesey was not able to travel to Scotland because he was performing in a [[West End theatre|West End]] play, ''The Banbury Nose'' by [[Peter Ustinov]], at the time of filming.<ref name=MacD243/>  Thus all his scenes were shot in the studio at [[Denham Film Studios|Denham]], and a double (coached by Livesey in London) was used in all of his scenes shot in Scotland. These were then mixed so that the same scene would often have a middle-distance shot of the double and then a closeup of Livesey, or a shot of the double's back followed by a shot showing Livesey's face.<ref>Powell (1986) p. 476</ref>

The film was budgeted at [[Pound sterling|£]]200,000 ({{Inflation|UK|200000|1945|r=-5|fmt=eq|cursign=£}}) and went £30,000 over. The [[art department]] budget was £40,000, mostly spent on effects for the studio whirlpool.<ref>MacDonald (1994) p. 247</ref> The actors received £50,000, of which one third went to Hiller.

Powell shot a scene at the end of the film where Catriona follows Torquil into the castle, to emphasise her love for him, but decided to cut it.<ref name="sight"/>
