Our second location is Ashtead Common. This is where the majority of our film takes place. We chose to film here as a forest can offer plenty of dynamic shots and is visually interesting as well. Ashtead Common is near to our first filming location, Ashtead train station which means we can track our characters journey from our first set to the second without wasting a lot of screen time. We are filming down a stone pathway that leads deeper into the forest shown in this picture. This also shows the camera angle and shot type we will be using in our opening scene for this location.
We are also filming shots that take place deeper in the forest. We think the remote location adds to the tension as the action that takes place is private and away from the public eye. Another positive aspect to using this location is production-wise, we're almost guaranteed no disturbance from other people walking into shot or causing noise that disrupts the shot. This picture shows how one of our shots in our opening scene should look, and we want to change the focus pull of this shot between the background and the foreground where the tree is.
This is the spot in this location we chose to film the end of our opening scene at. Our main character will be slumped against this tree when he is shot by his attacker. We need to make sure the light from the background doesn't ruin the lighting of the shot, so we'll try to block this unnecessary brightness out.
