The first location I visited was a woodland area near my house, after walking round and taking images of the location. After showing them to the group we came to the agreement that the trees in that area were too spaced apart in order to create a feeling a seclusion from normal life. Also from some angles within the woods there were houses visible in the background and also a large field. Again this wasn't appropriate in order for us to create tension as the character was isolated. In addition as the woods were located between an industrial site and a recreational ground, it was deemed in appropriate as when filming we needed silence but in this particular location there would have been ambient sound from both of the surroundings.
The second location I went round and and photographed was Bramcote Woods, this location was chosen as it has a thick woodland area given the sense of isolation and also when the we have a high angle shot of our character the woods would be intimidating for her, putting emphasis and her innocence. Furthermore, as the trees within the specific area of Bramcote woods are thin it makes them look haunted and creepy, but in addition to this it enables our character to skip about without too much obstruction.
When I presented the images of the second location to the group they agreed that it was the best location for us to film in as it fit our criteria. As the lighting wasn't the same as it would be at the time of day we plan to film, I returned to our chosen location the next day to see if it would still create the same ambiance. Having doing this it was the right setting for our thriller also, due to the time of day there weren't many members of the public around this is good as it means there shouldn't be too many disruptions when we film our thriller.
