LOCATION SURVEY
We have have four different locations in our thriller opening, a graveyard, a beach, a small dark room and a cliff, we chose these locations as we thought they'd have great effect as an opening and create pathetic fallacy.

What technical facilities are there?
i.e. Power, storage, enough space for equipment necessary to shoot certain set ups etc.
Many of our chosen locations are outside and in public places, making it slightly harder as there are fewer facilities for us to use when setting up our equipment and doing our actresses hair and make up however we shall be creative and bring plenty of umbrellas and coats in case the weather changes, making sure we still get our great shots.
We are going to have to rely heavily on natural lighting in the outside shots as there will be no where we can use for electricity and so won't be able to make big use of any artificial lighting We shall have to carry the equipment with us but this shouldn't be too difficult as we only have a couple of props and only ever one or two characters in the shots. We shall have plenty of space for filming as most shots are outside and in rural locations.
Cast & Crew facilities:
i.e. dressing and waiting areas, catering facilities, toilet facilities etc.
Graveyard Scene: we shall use Lisa's house for changing and fixing the hair and make up, we shall also use the local deli for food for our actresses.
Beach Scene: There are public toilets only ten minutes from our location for filming so hair and make up shall be carried out in them and we shall provide our actresses and film crew with lunch and refreshments at lunch
Cliff Scene: This will probably be the hardest scene to do, as the nearest facilities are a twenty minute walk away, however we shall do the hair and make up beforehand and luckily with only one clothing change it shouldn't prove to be too hard the local animal research center has a public toilet which we shall use also.
Shed Scene: We have found a small empty room in one of our crew's house which is perfect for getting the shots for our kidnap scene, it also means we shall have dressing, catering and toilet facilities all available to use
Environmental factors that may affect the location:
Many of the locations we are filming in our outside, so if there is heavy rain on the day of filming we will wait for it to stop or post-pone filming. However the rain could help to create some pathetic fallacy in our opening so we are taking umbrella's and tarpaulin so if we want to we can experiment with the rain and get some interesting shots.
Our scene on the beach may also turn out to be difficult to film as there may be the general public around but hopefully we will be able to get a few good shots without interruptions.
Filming the scene in the graveyard may prove to a challenge as we will have to get permission to film in it and permission to film a grave if we are not able to we will have to re-think our choice of location.
Health and safety are there any implications that may apply to this location
A couple of our shots are filmed on the edge of a cliff; this will be tricky to film especially as it is such a dangerous location but we have managed to find a way to make it look like cliff edge where in fact our actor is a couple of metres back.
