Location | Project Research

When deciding what location to use when filming my opening scene, I needed to find a woods location. I had one in mind and decided to go and take a look at it, to help me write my script with the  specific location in mind.

There are two entrances to this woods, one from the street and one from the back of Wigmore Library. There is quite a lot of trees and bushes around, but not so much that it makes the sky un see able.


The woods itself is fairly large, and there are many different areas in which I could film.  For example; there are a few logs that would be ideal if I wanted the characters to be sitting down. The woods is very spacious, while still having quite a lot of trees around. This is good as when it comes to filming the 2 minutes I won't have to worry about it looking to busy. I want to make sure my location looks quite simplistic so the audience can focus on the storyline, rather than the settings they are going to be stood in.




The woods itself is quite pretty and would work really well in my short film. The theme of the film isn't anything scary or thriller like, and I think this woods area isn't too scary either as it's quite open and bright during the day. This is one of the reasons why I liked this area and why I want to film the first 2 minutes of my short film here.
