As a group we discussed the key places to shoot the first two minutes of our film. These included Chelmer Valley High School, around the school in Broomfield and also in Chelmsford town. We took pictures so we could easily explain the concept of our idea. To begin with, below, we have images of the school itself and locations around the establishment.
Here is an image of a stairway inside Chelmer Valley, we would use this location to show Katie perhaps following or watching Mr Jones. The stairway itself is rather old and worn looking, giving the effect in the film that it is actually a school environment. In the film, either a lot of school children will be rushing down these stairs or the scene will be focused on Katie and Mr Jones.
This location is a long pathway leading into fields and a forest, it is literally one minute away from the high school. The location pictured is ideal for our film as it can give off a sense of horror and fear in certain light. The pathway is next to the school fence on the right and has a small ditch on the left hand side. Katie will be seen following Mr Jones down the pathway on one occasion whilst he is on his way home.
This image shows the other end of the path, with the school fence. This time you are able to see the school fields from up there. This is the same location as above and we will use it to show Katie continuing to follow Mr Jones. As it will be winter when we film, the bare trees and muddy ground will make the location seem dirty and as a whole, not very safe.
Here is the field and path that follows after the previous pathway. The gravel path shown in this location has been key in our minds as when we have both Katie and Mr Jones walking along, we should be able to hear the crunches of the gravel. We feel this will be highly effective as it will give the scene more of a horror effect, with diegetic sound effects. As the location is rather bare, the focus will be entirely on our characters emphasizing the situation at hand.
This image shows a spare room in Hazel's house, we will be using the room as Katie's bedroom for our film. We will clear as much as we can from the room, not including the tumble dryer, this will be covered with a white sheet. In the room, there is already a spare mattress, we could use this as Katie's bed to show that she may be deprived. Other than the covered tumble dryer and the spare mattress, the room will be bare.

This image shows a part of Chelmsford town, although it is not in the centre. The road shown is nearby the central park and a few shops as well as a few bus stops. The reasoning behind this particular location is that we would be able to travel from one location to another easily enough to get our film prepared quickly. Another possible location for our film is also near this road, a cafe called 'aCanteen' where both Tamer, our chosen Mr Jones, and Hazel our group member both work. Filming here would be an appropriate location as well as being easy to get to.
Here is the outside of 'aCanteen', it is a cafe on the outskirts of the town centre. Whilst filming here we will have to make sure that it is not busy, because although it may be on the outskirts, it is still rather popular. The inside of the cafe is rustic and family friendly, so it will seem more like the place Mr Jones would like to visit. As we can all get the bus or even walk to 'aCanteen' it would be ideal for our scene with Mr Jones and his friends.
