Pre production meeting

First Pre-Production Meeting. Today we had our first pre production meeting where we discussed what needed to be thought about and organised, and who was going to carry out each role. For future reference, the two people who are in my group are Abel Clarke and Tom Ewart.

Ideally we wanted an abandoned street but that is very hard to find, and people will probably be hanging around there making it difficult to film. We then thought a forest may be a suitable location but we figured it was too generic and we want it to be different. I then thought that they're is an old sewage works in Yarnton, behind the Turnpike which would be ideal as it has that abandoned atmosphere about it as well as being a quiet location for filming. The only limitation is getting access to it. above is a selection of pictures I took of the area, I think its ideal
