Location

The location of my film opening is going to be in a forest. I have decided to do this as I believe that this will give over the best effect to the audience. The connotations of it being set in a forest, is that it will usually be dark and very hard to find your way out. This will give over the representation that there is no escape for the captured character, and that there is no way out for them. I was also going to have it in this location at sun rise to make the location seem even more intimidating, however my cast refused to do this, which meant filming at midday and having to use a filter to make the scene look darker. A lot of thriller films also have a forest in the film, which shows how successful the use of them can be, for the reasons already stated.
