Outdoor location shots

This location is where the finale of the opening sequence takes place and the victim is  murdered . This location was fairly easily to film in as there was no one else present here and nothing that would distract the audience's attention way from the main focus (the victim's fear and her death). All that was really required of this location was a surface for which victim to be pushed into, a brick wall could have sufficed however the advantages of using this fence is that it would not be painful for the actress to hit into multiple times (as we had to redo the shot several times to make it look as realitic as possible).  

This location was only used briefly for one shot (that being the point-of-view shot of the murder). Intially this shot was taken in the lane (see picture further down post) however I found that taking multiple shots in that area may have made the sequence fairly dull and repetitive and so I came to the decsion to film else where. This location was chosen specifically becasue I thought that the narrow hedges  creates the illusion of seclusion and claustrophobia which creates a tense atmosphere. 

This location was orginally selected for a wide shot. However after filming the shot several times I came to the conclusion that the location was not fitting for the atmosphere as a domestic setting tends to be pleasant and comforting, contradicting with the fear of the victim.  The setting as contained a lot of distractions.  

The counrty lane was selected for one of the beginning locations and specifically where the character of the victim was introduced. There was both advantages and disadvatages for this setting as the location provided a good space for a chase sequence with little distractions however there was the issue of passers by. Luckily I only had to stop filming once to prevent them from coming into shot and ruining the atmosphere.
