Because our film features desceat the group needed to create a sense of loss of security and unawareness to the sourroundings. We could have based the film inside and this would have proved easier to film as the weather conditions interuped filming times and delaid arangements. To meet the groups aims of basing the film on reality events we researched past events that have previously taken place and we also attempted to think of a circumstance we could relate to.

We concluded that the film would be set deep in the woods as people can associate the woods with mysterios objects and woods are known for being "Spooooky". By placing are actress in the woods it allows the viewer to gain an understanding of the hard conditions he/she would potentially face in those cicrumstances. As oppose to waking up on a bright summers day central to shops etc..... this would create the oppositve effect.

The group scowered the woods for a suitable location and put into place "Mise en scene" and the light that we wanted/didn't want and also the scenery and the image it reflected.

We found a remote location which provided suitable lighting and scenery. Because the film is based upon mysterious goings on it was important that the landscape was messy, dirty, and again remote. Trees were to be used to promote different camera angles and also to reinforce the idea of power, it was important that the greenery was not to condense as light plays an important aspect in the film. Twigs, trees and general forest aspects were used as props in order to create imagery to someone being hidden and "them not knowing where he/she lied".

It was equally improtant that the area chosen provided a large enough area to reflect the girls desolate presense amougst the great outdoor.
