Our settings board for our film

We have chosen to film our film in the woodlands because ;

• The woods are mysterious
• The woods are where people can do activites without being seen.
• The woods are vast and open meaning it is a conincidence if you bump into anyone.
• The woods have spots of lights which go through the trees.
• The woods are great for filming chase because they have trees which have fallen down and they can act as obsticles to the chase making subspence in the film.
• The woods can get dark quickly and children are generally scared of the woods
• Police never venture into the woods only if someone has reported something in the woods and plus the character's would be all by themselves with no-one around them to help them.

  

 

These are shots in our film which show the woods that the film has been set in, this allows the viewer to know where they are and where the action is happening. I think having the film set in the woods is a good setting because this made our actors feel like they were secluded from the world and if anything happened then there would be no-one around to help them get out of the mess. So overall i think that this was a brilliaint setting for our film.


In our film we have also have another setting with the main boy character sat at the computer when the character falls asleep. We have chose this setting because this will link to the end of the film when the audience will see why Sam is sat at the computer and the point for him being there in the first place is. This setting shows that Sam has moved on from the woods setting and something important in that scene is going to happen.


In doing this i have learnt that the setting for a film is important because the setting itself can help the viewer feel emotions before any action has even started. This means that the director can channel the emotions he/she would like the viewer to feel before the action.
