The Location

Previous to filming, we visited the location we planned to film at and took some still photos. This was just to give us an idea of the area we were working in.

We felt the top of this small hill would allow us to have a good wide, high angle shot with could exaggerate a characters isolation at the bottom on the hill, as the characters lose each other and separate within the trailer.
 - When it came to the day of filming, we were unable to make this planned shot from the top of the hill due to construction taking place on the old railway line on top of this hill and for safety reasons we never took the shot.











The tunnel of the left hand side is a pathway, its quick old and thus rubble and branches are inside on the floor. We feel this would be a suitable shot for a character running towards the camera, as it would appear the tunnel is getting smaller yet the character us getting bigger to the audience. As it will be dark within the tunnel, the audience wont be able to see what is behind the characters and what he could possibly be running from thus will attract the audience who are curious a to what it is as it is just out of their reach to know.

This wooded area is suitable for a tracking shot, as if the camera shot is a POV (point of view) from what is chasing the character or a POV of the character running through. We think we will shoot both, but only actually use one within the trailer as to not confuse the audience.
- Running through this area was difficult, so instead of a tracking shot we set the camera up on a tripod as whilst looking through the camera to make sure we captured the character running, you could not also concentrate on the ground and it proved to be too difficult to carry out safely without the cameraman tripping and falling. 

This area is ideal for a long shot as it has depth.
- On the day of filming we changed our mind from this particular area as we felt there was too much contrast between the left handside which was heavily wooded and the righthand side which was a complete open space.

 - We avoided this area due to the risk of someone possibly falling into the river as the slope was small but quite steep and the snow/ice made it slippy and we agreed the shot wasnt worth the risk on the day.
