Planning 7- Props and Locations

The job of finding suitable locations was actually my task. As my village is in a very rural location with lots of quiet back roads in which a teenage couple might go to engage in teenage kicks. I scouted around 3 or 4 locations around my house but eventually chose the first one I found as it was a very quiet road with no sound except the occasional sound of a train going by and It also has a very creepy shed like structure overlooking the road which I thought we could shoot from. I thought if we shot from it at the start of the film then perhaps we could use it as the werewolf's "Den". We created a table of the props we used to simply keep track of what we have used- borrowed etc. So that it could be returned and not lost. This is the table:



Props:
Reason for usage:
Digital Video Camera
to record the opening two minutes
Digital Fixed Camera
to take photos as evidence
Tripod
to stand and keep the camera still whilst filming
Rug
for the boy and girl actors to sit on
Car
to be parked behind the boy and girl/lighting



These are pictures of the Location I eventually chose-

  1. Tom, do you have a time scale for me? This needs to be complete in the next 48 hours if I am to assess.

  2. No I'm afraid not sir, I'm in Spain at the moment and I have very very limited Internet Access, I am trying to get everything finished as soon as possible but It's difficult. I will try my hardest to get everything finished either today or finish it off tomorrow if that's okay...
