Planning Shot Locations.

Before we could start filming our opening sequence we knew that we needed to plan out where our shots would take place first. We knew this would help us better with the actual planning of our film, so we did them in conjunction with each other. We needed to assess the practicality of a lot of the shots, so we decided to do this before we shot our film. Here are the following locations that we used in the filming of our opening sequence:

Year 7 Gardens:

We felt like this was a great location to films shots of the girl being stalked, because we could use a variety of angles whilst filming, so it wouldn't look like the same place, and there were also lots of places where we could have the girl walking, and then the murderer following closely behind, which looked realistic. 

Mrs Kelly's Office

We chose this location because it looked like an office that could be inside someones house. It was also bright enough to film in with the lights off, but it also looked dark enough to make it quite scary. 

Bentley Woods

This wood is next to our school, so easy to get to in order to film it. We used this location to film the hanging scene, and it was very easy here to pick how we would film it.

Other Woods

This wood is at the bottom of our school field, and we decided to use this as another shot location for a murder. Having previously used the bridge, we knew it was safe to film on. We also liked the atmosphere of the area, and there were lots of angles we could use to film the body.

Bathroom

This is the bathroom of one of our classmates. She agreed to let us film in it, to create another murder destination. It was useful because it had a variety of angles that could be used, but it was also quite a dark room, where we could create atmosphere.
