Location Report

Evaluation of the Area:
These are photos of the locations I would use for my film. I have chosen them as I believe they would be appropriate for my story as it is quite open and un-populated, also I can relate it to my Thesis Statement in my Textual Analysis that conventions have to change. The location is quite a big thing in mine as in Stakeland they say at one point that the Vampires stay away from cold places and the fact that in my sequel at this part they have just been attacked in daylight breaks the conventions in two ways, one being its snowy making it cold and two being daylight. I would not have to set dress the scene at all, the only thing that you may have to do is that if the snow disappears we would have to use artificial snow. 

The image on the right is where they find the scientist and the image on the left is the opening to the field.

The image on the left is were the camp at the start would be set and the image on the right is of an area of the woods in which you would see the group running.

This is a shot I could put in at the end of the scene of a abandoned town they try to head to for safety.  

Accessibility:
 There many different access points to the field on foot, there is also a few gates at which a vehicle could get into the field. The town you can see in my last photo is easily accessible from the main road that runs between the field and the town. One entrance to the woods which we would probably mainly use is easily accessible by foot but not by vehicle, but there is access to it further around.

Health and Safety:
 The area is very safe overall but some things you should be aware of are; there are people that use the fields and part of the woods to walk dogs regularly so we would have to put up signs to let them know or to divert around the locations needed. There is a clear path through the woods but there are tree roots that may stick out of the ground so you must be careful with your footing. One more thing would be in the woods itself there is a area called 'The Bomb Hole' which is a huge ditch in the ground, but it is easily avoidable and we should be able to film around the area.

Lighting, Noise and Electricity:
 Unfortunately there isn't really a source of power that we could use, therefore we would have to use generators which there is space for. There is no Artificial Lighting in either the Field or Woods so we would have to bring our own lights. There is also not much sound apart from the wildlife, this would benefit though as you will not have car noises in the background.

Contact:
 If you were to use the above location we would have to be in contact with the local council to arrange times and dates at which to use it. We could easily find the contact information of the council online or through asking some of the local people.

  1. High Level 3 7/10

    Highly Proficient evidence of links to textual analysis, clearly identifiable but may lack some
    precision -


    Proficient creative application of prior learning

    Some proficient application of pre-production skills in creating planning materials
    To improve: you need to find a INTERIOR location for the other part of the scene, therefore this is incomplete.

    Proficient care in presentation of planning, some detailed thought has been applied to
    presentation, some creativity may be evidenced
    To improve: Look closely at the examples - maps, a separate Health and safety/access & directions/ permissions details for each location. Don't instruct the reader how to go about getting permission - find out who the contact and is and number.
