Film Location

Film Location Research

Bidston Hill

Pros

Large space to film in, likely to be undisturbed while filming, can used to make a film in a variety of genres (ideally horror action). 

Cons

Public space, looks good at night but lighting would be difficult

Oval Field/Bebington Cemetery

Pros

Good setting for a horror film, wide selection of areas to shoot, 

Cons

May require permission to film on, floodlights may distort image/lighting, 

Final Plan for Production

Genre-Action
Setting/Location- Bidston Hill
Reasoning behind this choice is that the location needs to be eerie and desolate which fits the mould of Bidston Hill along with the natural surroundings and creepiness of the woods at night playing a role in the decision making process.
Costume- Callum=Black leather trench-coat, gas mask. Mike+Luke=Generally dark, regular clothing.
These choices were made to be inconspicuous and allow for generic characterisation to emphasise the importance of the stand-out character
Lighting- Varying levels of light for artistic perspective along with certain censorship e.g darkens if there is stealthy violence, lightens up if it is a fight scene.
Props-Duffel bag, knives, gas mask, gun.
The use of props which are going to be used as weapons shows off the action element of the film and foreshadows the violence to come
