Scenery and Props

So as we had a rough plan of the storyline we needed to find a location to film it. I thought that this was very important as it could make or break the film, as we needed a certain type of atmosphere. Also it would need to be a safe area that isn't to public so as to reduce possibilities of brack ground noise; but accessable and close to where we lived so as not to take over a day filming.

We knew we wanted a rural setting in the woods so we picked ashridge forest. which was ideal as it was as it was close to both Harry and Olli's houses. We scoped out the area taking pictures of the areas that we would use to shoot, it seemed relativly quiet but still public. However, on the day started to film there were tons of screaming children and too many members of the public wandering into shot.

The solution was Harrys idea, he had been working for a woman who had a private pine wood forest, so we went to her house and asked permition. With is grantted we started to film. This wood was infact more ideal, with dense trees and a thick canopey giving us just the right lighting; and in fact it worked better than our previous idea.

The main prop was a rusty saw which we used as the weapon of choice for this phsycopath.

I shall include picture in my next post once i get them off Olli.
