Location Research

Location Research
I will need to look into two locations for my research, one for the forest scene and one for the chase scene. I have planned both locations so they are local in order to make filming easier and so I have a good knowledge of the area. For the forest scene I need a bench surrounded by forest, I want to find an area with no signs or bins so the area seems more natural and relaxing as if it is untouched by human kind even though it is obviously not. For the chase scene all I need is a quiet road near school, the houses along the road do not matter so much as most shots will either be close ups where not much of the road is visible or soft focus shots so you cannot make out details on the houses. There will also be motion blur from the quick movement so the focus will not be on the houses. This means I can use the same area of the road more than once from different angles and it will not be obvious.

Forest Scene

For my forest scene I have chosen to use a park, their are two parks nearby that have large areas of forest, I have chosen to use Cheam Park as it is very close to the school and has everything I need for the shots I have planned. In the park there is a small clearing with a bench in the centre, this would be the perfect place to film the forest scene.

Chase Scene
I have  chosen to use the roads outside my house as they are easily accessible and are not very busy so I will not have to worry about looking out for cars when we are filming. This means we can have someone keeping an eye on the road and warning us about cars while we film someone running down the middle of the road and manoeuvring as he needs to.
