Filming

We decided to do some of our filming in some woodland area near where we live. We thought this would create a good, mysterious setting for our villain to take the kidnapped child to. We thought this would make it realistic as in other films they never take the person somewhere easy to find and no one would know where to start looking in a forest. Also all forests look the same so you would have to find the right one first.

The other parts of our footage are:

- in a busy area: shots with mother looking around for signs of the child, we chose to do this near some local shops as it is a busy road and therefore the traffic would create a good, chaotic atmosphere.

- in the living room of a house: we used the living room of someone in our group, so that we could get some shots in an indoor environment, somewhere the child could get taken from and somewhere you would identify as being "safe".

- the inside of a car: to make it look like the mother was planning on going long distance to get her child back and was intending on finding her quickly.

- a park: common location for home videos to take place: we wanted to get some shots of the child and mother playing happily together outside of the family home. To show different locations and make it seem like a different time.
