Setting In Our Film-Will Smith

We have chosen to have the location of our film in Ashtead Woods. We will film here when it starts to get dark. We have chosen to do it at this time because if it were to be too dark the camera may not be able to pick up the characters presented as there's not good enough light. We didn't do it in the light as it wouldn't give the tense effect as the darkness would give a eerie effect as you don't usually find a horror film being filmed in the light. The setting of the woods is often featured in horror films where people often get lost, attacked or murdered in the woods. Ashtead Common has dense wooded areas where tension can be created as the audience cannot see what is happening in the trees. Also there is open spaces where the characters can be seen hanging out and sitting around a campfire.      ​
