we have decided to use Chailey common for our filming as this possesses the most qualities of our original location. it has dense wood lands along with open bushland and some specific features we saw when we were doing out location scouting which we felt we would be able to use effectively. also we are going to use Sam's house for our scene on the driveway while the characters are packing up the car, we decided this because he lives the closest to Chailey common and we do not feel that this is the most important location in our opening therefor it is convenient for transporting equipment. although we were talking about fire, we are filming in a public place so we may film the camp fire scene on private land in the dark so it will be extremely hard to tell the differences between the two venues, this solves our problem with the public place issues. we are still debating however weather to use the "scrapyard" we were considering filming in as we are not sure if this will add or take away from the opening.
Good idea to have fire in different location whilst at same time fooling your audience. The scrapyard issue - it is high risk so be careful and complete a risk assessment. If you are not sure how it adds to your opening, then that would suggest you have not completely figured out what yourn opening will be. Pause and ensure that you know what you will be doing before anything else.
ReplyDeletewe have decided not to use the scrap yard as this means a lot of extra traveling around and we have decided that it will not add a great amount to the piece in the way of making it creepy.
