Location, Location, Location... scouting

For a tenth session, it really wasn't a session, heck we weren't in the classroom. Instead, we were given permission to go location scouting! Regardless of how far away we live! We trekked to the specific locations we found on Google maps to observe and learn how much an effort it'll take to work on there. The fields were fantastic, perfect for the night-vision POV shot of the slender man himself, along with long walkways and paths where we took a lot of photos of. Sam also introduced the pub which surprisingly, wasn't so far from the fields and rural areas we were planning to film on. For one thing, i'm glad i wore my walking shoes today, for we continued down some roads and past town into a forest with the perfect dense environment which we'll take advantage of later when we start filming. Matt and Sam took plenty of photos, specifically one which included a reflection in the water which we all particularly liked. Theres also one sample film of a tracking shot moving through the wooded plains Matt took, which he will hopefully upload later on along with the photos. For one thing, i'm glad we got this sorted out today because now we got the location and area sorted and out of the way. A friend of Sam has agreed to play the part of the stupid character, whilst Alice is playing the main girl who gets chased primarily through the film. She's totally up for it, even mentioning about how she can run a few laps around the area just to get the high breathing action going for just a few seconds of footage. We're thinking of cutting the boyfriend character out for we were unable to find an actor to play him, and we've also discussed equipment that we needed to bring. Matt has bought online a tripod specific for the iPhone and a wide angle lens, which will both come in VERY handy, just so we can film it without the lens moving so much and in capturing more within the scene. Alice is going to bring her families large torch, with other lighting equipment and such just we can see in the dark whilst filming.

Filming Scheduled to start the Monday after the next,
             3rd December to 10th December 2012
