Location Research

We chose the location for our film is Nonsuch Park. We have chosen this because we wanted to find a forest that was secluded in order for us to easily shoot our film without interruptions. Furthermore, there is a road that goes through the park which suggests we will be able to shoot and set up the car scene there. Similarly a unique point about Nonsuch Park instead of Richmond which was infact our 2nd choice is that there are a lot more isolated areas rather than at Richmond which gives us a great advantage in setting the scene as we want our main character to appear isolated and helpless. We could possibly for the first part of the opening scene we could the ambient sounds of the natural environment as it is calm and peaceful,  then we could go straight to the shots of the girl running in the forest to show a clear contrast.  Additionally, Richmond Park is a bit harder to get to and will therefore be harder to go back there in case we needed to film additional footage.  Another location that will be included in the two minute opening of our film will be a classroom in school as we would like to film the flashback there. However, we need to make sure to make it unidentifiable as a classroom to add suspense, instead making it appear like a small room or basement. This will also help set the scene as it will add a much more realistic feel to it and make it appear more successful.
