LOCATION

We needed to find a location that would be interesting, fit our genre and allow us to produce great shots and mise en scene. From our film research, we decided that we would film our opening sequence in a forest/wooded area. We decided to film at dusk/twilight time, to give us a variation of lighting, colours and atmosphere. We also decided that we wanted slight darkness to give off a spooky freaky feel to the opening sequence. Firstly, we decided to film in Maxey at Maxey Lakes, as it had a small woods around the edges of it and had a great atmosphere. A couple of problems came up from choosing this location. It took us a while to set up and our actor, Faye, came from Stamford and arrived later than expected. The torches and glow sticks we had bought didn't help produce much light, so we decided just to film on another day.

After our first failed attempt at filming, we discussed and contemplated what we could do different to ensure we successfully filmed second time round. We discussed a change in location, and changed to the local Reservoir in Eye Green. When it came to filming second time round, we again found it incredibly hard to film in the dark. I had done some research the night before second filming on how to film in the dark, but had no success on finding out how to film without buying certain camera accessories. Faye had found it hard to get to Eye any earlier than half 5, so again time had beaten us.

After further discussion on how exactly we were going to get our filming done, we decided on another Actor instead of Faye; Jessica Hutchinson. This was a better decision, as she lived in Eye and found it easy to get to the Lake and film in great time. We also decided to film at an earlier time, so instead we went out to film at half 4 and managed to finish at half 6.
Before we started filming, we took pictures of places around the lake which would fit in with our sequence. This ensured us that we culd remember and log down where abouts we would be filming.
