Alleyway in Walton on the hill near Jonny’s house
This is where Lizzie willbe captured by the ‘villain’
(Propp),whois played by Tom. Lizzie is on her phone
telling her friends that she is nearly at the meeting place.
Tom will charge out of the alleyway and grabs. There will
be a POV shotof the bag going over her head. This is
suitable as the alleyway is concealedand so it willbe more
of a surprising when Lizzieis kidnapping.
Potential
Hazards/Risks
 There is no
pavement on
the side of
the road
with the
proposed
alleyway.
 We could
solve this by
using the
alleyway on
the other
side of the
road which
does have a
pavement
Banstead Heath
This is where we see the friends
searching for Lizzie. This could also be accumpenied
by a diegetic sound bridge of one of the of the group
saying, in panicing tones. “I’ve found Lizzie’s phone on
the raod, she’s gone missing.” (or something of
similler effect.) this is suitable as it is a large expanse
of woods and fields that would be effective for a
search and resue scequence. (poswsible Long Shot)
Potential
Hazards/Risks
 The wooded area
may cause people
to trip over tree
trunks
 We could get lost.
 We will sovles this
by taking care
when traversing
the woods and by
sticking close to
the paths to

COSTA or another similar coffee shop.
Dan meeting with Johnny to discuss the state of Adam.
Dan is conserened for Adam’s well being. Ther will be
use of Shot Reverse Shot to denote the exchange of
idezsa nd conserns. This is suitable as a small public
coffe shop is recognisable and is suitable to have a
dicussion about shuch matters.
Potential
Hazards/Risks
 We will need

a messy bed in a messy room (Jonny’s house)
Adam is amid the aftermath of a dose of drug substance
and is sprawled on the bed. This is suitable because it fits
the stereo typical image of a drug addict’s house due to the
lack of controlthat they seem to have in their lives.
(possible MediumLongShot)
Potential
Hazards/Risks
 There is a pond
outsid on the
location that is 6ft
deep and so
people could
drawn.
 We will solve this
by not going near
the pond

3. 3
Walton pond
This will be the setting for Adam’s overdoes. Adam will be
lying on the ground at the water’s edge. This will be
depicted through a CloseUpShot. This is suitable because
the events in the scene act to contrast the setting and this
will be a metaphor of the idyllic townbeing struck by
unfortunate events.
Potential
Hazards/Risks
 Duck poo
underfoot could
cause slippage.
 Hard ground
might be
probklematic in
overdose scene as
I have to lie on the
floor.
 If we are too close
we may get wet.
 We will solve
these by: takeing
care when alking,
put a coat under
me when lie on the
hard uneven
surface and
staying away from
the edge of water.
