To film our sequence, we had to go to the set location we selected prior to filming. We decided, since we were doing the horror/slasher genre, we wanted a creepy, eery location. We picked the woods as this fit the criteria of the location we wanted. The woods are often a typical setting for a horror film making it instantly recognisable. Before going off to our location, we made sure we had all the equipment, which we were able to do with some complications; such as problems with the weapon, tri-pod issues and rope issues. We managed to resolve them in the end with Simone providing the knife, me being able to locate a tri-pod (we forgot to get one from school) and kate finding some rope to use during filming.
Once we got to our location, we had to choose the right location in the woods that would fit our imagination of our woods. We selected a location that was not over crowded by trees, and had a decent amount of walking space. Since I was in charge of location, I had the decision where we started filming, with the help and opinions of Kate and Dylan. Kate set up the positioning of the camera, and decided where people should enter and leave and the different camera angles, whereas Dylan being the director, oversaw these decisions and had to see if the decisions being made where ultimately good enough - which all were and there were no problems.
Once we had picked the location we started to film the walking, and running clips for our film. We took lots of shots so we had lots of choice when we began editing and so we wouldn't have to go back again. Once we finished filming, we looked through and watched the clips to see if they looked good.
