Main Task- Location Scouting


The Location we choose to film at was the field and forest by ASDA. This location was prefect for our horror film as it created an eerie and mysterious atmosphere, which connected well with our script about a girl who finds herself in the woods with a a trio of witches.
Another reason why we chose this location was because it was very easy to access. It was just across the road from our college, meaning we would't have a long walk and if anything went wrong we was a few minute walk from our teacher. This also meant we did not have to travel a long distance with all of our camera equipment and props. It was also convenient  as it meant we could film during our practical lesson time, since all three of us in the group had part time jobs and worked weekends, it meant we had no time to film outside of the lessons, and if our location was a distance away, we may have not be bale to complete out filming during the lesson.




The area is a public walking area, so we expected to see members of the public walking though the woods or sitting on the field. However we took that as part of our risk assessment, and if we did come across members of the public whilst filming, we would either wait for them to leave or ask politely for them to move on, since we were filming a media project.

There were a few dangers with choosing his location, such as crossing a busy road to actually get to the location, but there are traffic lights we can use to cross safely. Also with the location being a public area, and with the threat of members of the public being in the woodland, we would have to be very cautious about people just to be safe. So if we saw something that looked suspicious we would have to pack up an dove until we thought it was safe.
