2. Location
Our film will be set in a walkway with many trees because it sets the
scene of a horror type genre. Also this is where the Silhouette Man is
introduced into the film. This setting makes the atmosphere more
mysterious and creepy, as the lighting is very limited and the are is
very enclosed.
3. Sound
Depending on how many people are in the area when we are
filming there could be noise interference from members of the
public. The area we are filming in is next to an open field where
people walk their dogs so there is also a risk of sound interference
from them. Our filming location is also very close to a car park and a
main road so there is also a risk of sound interference from cars.
4. Lighting
The area we are filming in is shadowed by trees at certain times of
the day but it not dark enough for us to need to use any extra
lighting.
5. Access and availability
The location we are filming at is walking distance from the college
so we won’t need to use any transport to get there. Having our
location so close to us means we can easily go back and film some
more if we need to.
The location we are filming at is also available to use at all times so
which makes it easier for us to schedule when we are going to film.
6. Permissions
To be able to film at our chosen locations we will need to get a
permission from the borough authority that handles filming
permissions in the area we are filming in.
The local borough authority for both our film location is the Bexley
Film Office.

9. Backup location.
In case we couldn’t use our initial location we planned a backup
location. Our backup location is a children's park, close to our
primary location.
This area is fully exposed to sunlight and no lighting would be
needed.
It is quite far from any roads so there wouldn’t be much sound
interference cars but it is in a public park where people lots of
people walk their dogs so there is a chance that there might be
interruption from dogs and their owners.
10. Access and availability of backup
location
Like our primary location our second location is within walking
distance from us and is available to use all day.
11. Space
Our primary location has a lot of open space next to it so we have
more than enough room to set up equipment.
Our secondary location is a lot smaller but again there is enough
open space for to film comfortably.
