When we looked into our story we new we needed a setting that had an open space, to pull up in the car, a lightly wooded area, to film scenes of the friends together, and finally an area that was densely populated with tree's, the tree's would act as shelter for the 'monster' in the woods. We would also need to film in someones house and driveway, this would be needed for the montage of 'Robin' packing his bag, putting his bag into the car and leaving.
Ordinarily we thought of three different locations that we could film our opening, they were The Licky Hills, Manner Park and Sutton Park. All three locations have the setting we needed for our opening. However after me and my college went on a scout to Manner Park we found a problem with the location, area's of the woodland, that we planned to film our scenes in the wood in , where boarded off so we couldn't access the area of the park we needed. So although Manner Park was the most local of the three locations we could not film there. Then we went on a scout of The Licky Hills, on arrival it seemed better than Manner Park. There was more variation of woodland, so we could get all the shots we were looking to get, and there was also a large open space that we could film the car pulling up into. However Licky Hills was a lot more popular than we thought, there were many people, dog walkers and families at the park. This would prevent us from getting that isolated feeling we were trying to reach in our opening, and therefor we had to film at our final location Sutton Park. And we decided to use James' house as he has quite a stereotypical bedroom of a boy at he age of 16 and also has a driveway that we could film on very easily.
