Change of plan on footage

We originally planned to film over half term but because of technical difficulties, we lost our footage. So what me and Hannah have decided to do is start filming during school time. So on Monday we started filming at school. So because of filming at school we cant use the original location we were planning on using. But we did manage to film about 5 minutes of footage at the woodlands at the back of our school. I also had to be the person that is going to be acting in the film, because of filming in school time. Hannah will be recording. We should also be filming in the original woodlands but that's going to be a small part of the filming. We also took location shots and 'backstage' shots of the school woods.

Script for Hidden

There wont be alot of dialogue in our film. Simply because its a horror and our horror is the main character being followed through the woods, so the only dialogue is the main character when she turns around.

Charlotte: can you be quiet.

Reasons for locations

The reason me and Hannah have decided to set our piece in the forest/woods is because we feel that because our genre Is part horror. Alot of horror's are set in woods so we feel it is appropriate.
