Filming schedule

Cheshunt Park Footage;
When we thought we would be able to shoot the majority of the footage in Whipps Cross, we shot the beginning of the trailer in Cheshunt park, which is a park similar mito Cedars, but did not provide the same en scene that included ruins and different types of forest areas. The footage was not use mise en scene able for the following reasons.
- The Lighting throughout the footage changed because of the time of year and because we took lots of shots of the same scene the lighting did not correspond.
- The Footage we shot did not contain enough action (walking shots, running shots etc...) and we also did not get the establishing shot that we felt was needed for the first scene. This meant that the trailer was too slow starting, with too much dialogue, meaning it didn't have to atmosphere we were looking to create.
- When we were denied permission from the hospital we felt that the trailer should begin at the main place it was set, when we came across cedars park it only made sense to drawn a line under the footage that was previously filmed and start again.


Cedars Park Footage.
Initial filming was on the 26th of November where we filmed the vast majority of the trailer. All scenes based in cedars park were filmed on this date and the photo for the movie poster was also taken. The Filming was Successful because; - The lighting was perfect, the natural light allowed us to pick up all of the detail, we filmed at the right time of day because the lighting throughout the shots corresponds well.
- We produced around 10 minutes of footage, with a variety of shots at different distances, angles, and places throughout the location, this meant we easily had enough footage to find the best shots we could.

Torture Scene footage.
The Torture scenes are filmed in our drama studio, we decided this would be a good place for our torture scenes because it had lots of props, space, chairs and everything we needed to film these scenes. The room also gave us the ability to film in total darkness, which was perfect because the vast majority of the footage we wanted to be in night vision, to create the illusion that the kidnapper was filming his victims.
