Before Josh and I could plan a storyboard we had to explore our surroundings to find a suitable location for filming. Our group needed to be within distance of each other so that it would be possible to arrange filming times when necessary. We thought that the village of Glinton located near our school would be the reasonable place to assemble our opening sequence. We found several locations that would be suitable for the opening such as the bus shelter and the old abandoned pub which creates a mysterious and desolate atmosphere for our setting. Despite there being nearby traffic, we have to focus the shots being filmed on a certain side to avoid the camera catching glimpses of traffic. I would particularly like to film at night, but proffessional lighting would be required due to the lack of daylight and as we have a limited budget this would not be possible, so filming around afternoon/evening time looks like the only option. As we explored further we came across an isolated field, with a public footpath, with intricate touches such as small brick bridges and wasteland with a vandalised wall. Amongst the harsh conditions of the snow, Josh and I could see the potential for this as we finally found an excellent spot for filming 'the chase'. Again as we walked further down the field, you can identify the traffic in the distant background, again a minor problem that we can easily solve.
Here are a few shots of our location chosen locations:
Here are a range of shots taken from google maps, the RED markings indicate possible shots which can be constructed in these areas:
