Location

We decided to use a rural area road off of a main road. This will be a great choice as it will be easy for use to direct the car and use the camera without too many cars being in the way.

We used a tree house i have in my garden called 'Dani's House'. We thought this would fit perfectly for the scenery in which the man keeps the girl hostage so he can eat her in the near future.

This house has very girly inside as it is my sister's but it will work for our thriller as it is like a cover up as no one expect such horror to be kept in there. As well as this it is creepy.

Things I considered...

Are you legally allowed to film where you want to film?

Yes as it is a public road.
Yes as it belongs to me.

Are there any other access restrictions? (Dates, times, permissions etc.)

No, we can film whenever as it is a public road.

No as it is in my garden.

Is it safe to film here?

It is safe if mature, it can be dangerous when crossing the road as cars come round the bend either side and you can't see.

It is safe to film here as this is in my garden.

Is it physically possible to achieve what you want to achieve at this location?

It is possible to achieve what we want here, it is the perfect layout of a road leading to another for our idea and to get the most thrilling shots. The house is a perfect size and design for a creepy, unlivable place that an kidnapper can keep the child hostage in.

Does it suit the genre of the film?

It suits the genre of film as it is very dull and all the same, there is nothing special about the chose area.

The pink girly extras don't suit the genre but we will make it by using red lighting and putting our actress with blood and cuts on her inside making it a horror house.

Is it interesting enough?

Yes, as there is lots of trees and bushes which make it more creepy.

Yes, the decorations inside make a man seem creepy for having such girly designs.

Will lighting be an issue?

No, we will be using natural lighting on the road and red light in the house. 

Is it a public thoroughfare?

The road is a side road with houses but not really used as a thoroughfare. There is a stables on the road so many people go there.

The house we used is not a public place.

Is there a lot of road traffic nearby?

As we are filming from 3- 6 there may be rush hour traffic as it is a main road and many schools are based nearby.

Will noise be an issue?

Noise won't be an issue as the diegetic sound of cars going past can set the atmosphere and be perceived as creating tension. We will decide when editing if we should mute the clips and add sound effects or keep the sound and add sound effects.
