We decided to base our opening sequence in a wood, as this is present in a film that we researched in preparation, "The Blair Witch Project". Luckily, there is a wood beside college that we are going to film the first part of our title sequence in, which is useful as we do not need to travel to a further location. We decided on using a wood for our setting as this will work well with the noir lighting, and the sight of a wood in a film generally creates an aura of the horror genre. For the second part of our sequence, it shall be filmed in college as this creates the idea that the characters are two typical students living a normal life, and the events that shall follow in the film will be obscure compared to their normal life.
Above is a picture of Nunnery Wood, which is located next to our college. This is where we will be filming much of our opening title sequence, as it located right next to where we are based.
This is the path in Nunnery Wood where we will film our victim walking. We chose to film here because the pathway is clear and safe, and as it is a public place we did not have to worry about getting permission.
Our chosen area was also inspired by one of the films we looked at as part of our "Genre Specific Analysis" of film openings with a similar genre and idea. "The Blair Witch Project" also uses a wood as one of its main locations.
