Location Map

We knew to film in Ongar as we already had key locations of where to film there. Here is a map of Ongar with the locations we decided to film. As finding the right locations was key we done some extra location hunting and found many new locations that suited our film as well as the key ones we already had in mind. As our locations were quite far apart we had to travel long distances between each location and therefore had to plan carefully where we were going to film first so we could save as much time as we could and make sure our continuuty was right.


Location 1- This was the open field and the long lane. The film would start here as I thought the establishing shot of the lane would work well as it gives the audience a clear picture of where the character is. The lane then leads onto a open field for the next scene where the character collapses. The open field emphasis that he is desperate to get away and the openness shows he is vulnerable.


Location 2- This is the concrete room. Its derelict and dirty which adds to the mystery of when the character wakes up. The graffiti around the walls of the building adds to the mise en scene by making it more gritty and urban. The hole in the side of the building also added to the lighting making several shadows.


Location 3- This is the derelict barn. This is where our main character takes one of his victims in the flashbacks. We thought it would make an interesting location as it has some nice features such as the curled barbed wire.


Location 4- This was the forest with the empty moat. This was another flashback scene which worked well as the gradient varied so we could have high angle shots of the man with the kinfe and the body laying down in the ditch.

Location 5- Derelict swimming pool. This was the last flashback where we filmed. This was another unique location we used as we used the flashbacks to present a variety of locations to make the shots look more interesting. The broken tiles and crumbled walls all done this.
