Pitched to our peers and the feedback was positive but a comment which was made was
how were we going to film in one of the locations as it is a public place.

permission to film at that location.

decide to stick with them.

we then decide that we weren’t as we wanted to build tension in the film and not give our
twist away too early in the film
What are you going to do next?
We are going to think over the film and see if we can add anything else to make it extra
special than everyone elses.
