CTKSM Btec L3 Unit 22,2,1 Short Film

1. Recce

2. Location
 Our film will be set in a walkway with many trees because it sets the
scene of a horror type genre. Also this is where the Silhouette Man is
introduced into the film. This setting makes the atmosphere more
mysterious and creepy, as the lighting is very limited and the are is
very enclosed.

3. Sound
 Depending on how many people are in the area when we are
filming there could be noise interference from members of the
public. The area we are filming in is next to an open field where
people walk their dogs so there is also a risk of sound interference
from them. Our filming location is also very close to a car park and a
main road so there is also a risk of sound interference from cars.

4. Lighting
 The area we are filming in is shadowed by trees at certain times of
the day but it not dark enough for us to need to use any extra
lighting.

7. Backup location.
 In case we couldn’t use our initial location we planned a backup
location. Our backup location is a children's park.
 This area is fully exposed to sunlight and no lighting would be
needed.
 It is quite far from any roads so there wouldn’t be much sound
interference cars but it is in a public park where people lots of
people walk their dogs so there is a chance that there might be
interruption from dogs and their owners.
