Locations List

Locations List
This will be a list of all of the locations that will be used within the production of out film trailer. The places that we will use will be photographed and described to show why we used these locations over others.

Woodland Area (Liverpool Road North)

 This is the main setting for the film and the trailer as the film is called "The Woods" which should inevitably be set in a woodland area. We chose this area of the woods as it is very secluded which means that we could film in confidence knowing we would be very unlikely to be disturbed by passers by. It also gets very eerie at sundown which is perfect for our film. The majority of the trailer will be shot here, but we will have to be careful for debris laying around that may cause injury and also keep an eye on the light levels as the trees will block a lot of sun making it hard to film at night.

Lydiate Abbey

 This was going to be the setting of the second portion of the film trailer in which the Old Man in introduced to the two friends and this is where he has been hiding out. This would have been a perfect option for this as it was once again very secluded so there was minimal chance that someone would be interrupting us while filming, but due to a large amount of rainfall this was unusable as it was unsafe and just to hard to get a good shot.

Lydiate Hall

 Due to our first choice of Lydiate Abbey being unusable we had to think of another place to film the second part of our trailer. For this we decided on Lydiate Hall. Lydiate Hall is a perfect place for us to film our trailer as it is the most secluded place and had absolutely no chance of people interrupting the shooting of the film. It is also very dilapidated giving it a very eerie and dark feeling once the sun starts to set.  Lydiate Hall also has many small rooms in which the Old Man can use as his shelter and is also surrounded by woodland which makes the transition from one portion of the trailer to the next.

Actors List

Actors List
This will be a list of the actors that we will be using in the production of our film trailer for "The Woods".

Andy - Andy Nelson

We chose Andy to be one of the main stars of our film production as he is a natural when it comes to acting and can preform well in any scene be it from an emotional deep scene or a fast paced action scene. This makes him perfect for a role as one of the main character within the trailer. Andy was chosen to play the laid back chilled character within out film as can be seen from his attire.

Josh - Josh Filson

 We have also chosen Josh to play the role of the second star in our film production as he also able to preform very well in any scene from action to emotional scenes and fits the role of the brave outgoing personality that will not let the woods take him alive. Josh is playing the role of the brave leader and will mainly be seen leading the other two throughout the film.

Luke - Luke Hignett

 Luke is going to be playing the role of the third friend that enters the woods, but as is in his character goes missing and cannot be found throughout the trailer. Luke is not one of the main actors but is very good at supporting the other two actors and playing off of their reactions making him a very good supporting actor. Luke plays the role of the dopey unlucky friend that trouble just seems to follow.

Old Man - Stephen Hendrikse

Steve is going to playing the role of the Old Man, who according to Propps Narrative would be the helper for the two main stars of the film. Stephen is one of the main stars of the film but is not seen much throughout the trailer except for one scene at the end. Steve is a very good actor for emotional scenes as he can portray emotions very easily using just speech and his facial expressions making him perfect to be the helper.

Running Order

Running Order
This is the running order that I have produced which will be very helpful while shooting and editing as it shows all of the scenes in the order that they should be shown along with the edits, shot types and a small description of what should be happening in the scene. This has been produced along with the storyboards to keep consistency.

StoryBoards

Storyboards
These are the Storyboards that we have produced in order to get an idea of what our film trailer might look like. These will come in very handy later as they show what each scene should be like as well as giving information about edits and music.
