We have decided to film in one of our group members house. It is a small, derlict house therefore a perfect location for the film. It has an old, rustic look about it which will help to create a tense, scary atmosphere. This is crucial as the aim of our film is to build tension and anxiety at the beginning of the clip.
Through analysing other other films, we now understand how important the location is in terms of setting a certain type of mood for the audience.

Cast
Joseph Goodman - Victim
Alex Fennemore - Killer
Anthony Callari (me) - Director
We are only using the three members in our group to participate in our film, instead of getting other actors to do the job. We feel this will be easier and better for the film as everyone in our group is committed and will know exactly what to do, whereas getting better actors may improve it but we cannot rely on there commitment.

Time management
We have been using the camera, microphone and tripod and going round the school practicing filming techniques like zooming in and out and learning how to track with the camera properly.
We are now going to start filming out of school and then once we did we still start the editing process in school.
