Planning : Location ( Michael Cranenburgh)

Heath park near heathlands school : 

Heath Park

The park contains a section that is like a forest and woodlands. This is the section we aim to use. We chose this location as we thought it would be a ideal location for our mystery type of thriller. On the day the weather can play two parts , if it is a nice sunny day it will make our clip more mysterious and almost scary so there will be thrills in it. However it could also be a rainy day and this adds suspense as in a forest when its raining it can create a dull effect. In terms of lighting we aim to use natural lighting from the sun. If the sun is not out this could make our clip look more mysterious. As this is a public area we will not need to ask permission to film there but if there is people around there we will consult them before going ahead.


House : 

House in Isleworth 

We are going to start filming around 10 minutes away from the school in Isleworth at Callum's house to film our establishing shot to show our main actor leaving his house in the morning and his whole journey onwards from there. In terms of lighting it depends on the day as if it is a nice day we will use natural lighting, however if it is a dull rainy day we may choose to use low key lighting to brighten the scene up as this shots taken at the house will depict the morning in our two minute thriller opening.





Our initial idea : 


 Our initial idea was to use a abandoned building somewhere in Hounslow. However due to health and safety issues we could not do this. This is because the infrastructure may not be supported and we could risk injury if something topples over or falls down. Due to this,  most abandoned buildings are owned by a company or someone and to go onto this land without permission is trespassing which is against the law. We could of tried to contact some companies who owned the buildings but as we were limited to time we thought our short planning time could be used more effectively.



This is our location we have chosen to film on the day. However on the day of filming this could change due to external factors like the weather and the turn out of people in our group.
