2. What we want from a location…
There are three main aspects we want from our
location to help us deliver the story we want.
A lot of thin intertwined trees without leaves to
show overgrowth and for interesting shots.
A still and dirty lake or large pond to show
isolation.
A long and straight road which is narrowed by the
overgrowth and is only lit naturally.
3. Location 1 – Dagwood Lane
Positives –
• Tree dominated which adds to the
isolated feeling.
• Small lake to add to the setting.
• Road is longish, narrow and eerie as
it hasn't been looked after.
Negatives –
• Could potentially be unsafe with
oncoming cars as the are is not lit.
• Quite difficult to get to when we
want to film.
4. Location 2 – Shenfeild Common
Positives –
• Large dense forest which is a lmost
intimidating.
• Large lake to give shots variation.
Negatives –
• Too public (cars can be seen in the
teaser trailer).
• No road so we’d have to
compromise some scenes.
5. Overall…
Overall we have decided to choose Dagwood Lane as our
location as it has all three aspects (trees, lake/pond and a
road) whilst at the same time having a really deserted and
eerie feeling. Also it is less public as we found out that cars
very rarely use this route.
