Location and decisions - Chris Bailey

This is a shot of one of the walk ways down the 
Worth Way. We are going to be using the worth way filming when we see the man walking his dog and getting a phone call from the withheld number. Worth Way is a nature walk from East Grinstead to three bridges. This shot is going to be very effective as it’s the first time we see the character and it’s where the audience start to feel a connection towards the character shown who is going to be known as Jay. Also this shot is very effective as it is in a natural environment. We will be filming this shot during the day/ early morning so it is not dark. The reason why we are not filming when it is dark is that darkness is a convention of horror films.As this is a public place we are filming I have emailed the trustee of the
Worth Way asking permission to film while we are there. To the right is the email we sent to him and we will upload an image of his response when we get an email back.


We are useing the bedroom as another shot when we are introduced to a different character into our film. We have decided to use the bedroom as it will be a shot that people can relate to as they are just waking up. Also it is another naturalistic setting which will make our film move beliveable as it will be one of our bedrooms and we are a bunch of students, so therefore it is a students bedroom. We are going to have the first shot of her feet getting out of bed, and the camera will be on the persons feet. This is effective as we wont be able to seee the characters face so it is hidden. The seccond shot will be of the girl who is on her dressing table drying her hair.

This shot of the field is going to be the first shot in our sequence. It will be an establishing and with the camera panning from left to right. You will partly see the phone in the middle of the field, however then there will be a close up the phone. The reason that we are going to be useing this setting is that there is nothing else around. This way we can get the audience's attention by wondering what the phone is doing in the middle of this field. Between shots we will be cutting back to a close up of the phone in the middle of the filed ringing differnent people. Also by using this setting it looks very remote and shows that no one else is around, or nothing is around apart from the phone in the middle of the field

The kitchen is another shot when we are introducing another character, In this shot we are going to see somone waking up and going downstairs and making breakfast/ lunch. This is also another setting where memebers of the audience can realate to the person, as most households have kitchens. We are going to see the phone ringing on table while the character is making food. The character is not going to be able to hear the phone as things in the background such as the kettle are going to be louder than the phone


All of the settings and locations we have got we have got permisions for, such as with the bedroom and kitchen we have got permision from our perents and they have all agreed to letting us film.
