This document outlines the production timeline and process for filming a movie. It details various location scouting trips in January 2015 and filming sessions throughout February 2015 at Needham Lakes, Rendlesham Forest, and local heath lands. The filming included establishing shots, slow motion footage, and modern day scenes. Editing and digitally grading of footage occurred concurrently. Feedback was gathered from intended audiences to improve the opening sequence, which was completed and uploaded to YouTube by early March 2015. Resources used included costumes, props, camera equipment, transportation, audiences for feedback, and editing software.
