The Setting for our Thriller
The Farmhouse
It had been decided originally that all of the footage taken should be shot at a local farm, using the house for exterior shots however we eventually had to go against this idea because the area which we would have been able to film in was too open for a murder which was to some extent considered to be committed. Whilst our eventual location was also very public we felt that other people in the forest would not have been able to see any danger clearly as the scene was far more sheltered.
Cannock Chase
As discussed above we decided to use a sheltered setting for the murder scene and for this we used Cannock Chase and a clearing for the actual death scene so as to provide the audience a clear view of the action. A good deal of time had been spent searching for an appropriate clearing and the one we eventually settled upon was overlooking what can only be described as a small valley down which the boy would push the body so as to move it away from the scene. We were very fortunate when we were filming with regards to the weather as it was a cold and misty day which I feel coupled well with our footage because of the soft yet bright lighting which we achieved.
