When finding our location to film our opening sequence, it was key that we could film 'Zoe' going from a public area to suddenly an isolated environment. In order for us to get the perfect surrounding we visited may sites, such as Bicester, Tackley, Stonesfield and Combe. An example of the problems that occurred when scouting are shown here when we went to Bladon:
We first looked in Bladon to film our media product, thinking out running sequence could be created on the path, and through the forest. We went to have a look there, but realised that the forest was too dense and would be difficult to get any decent footage. Also there wasn't a clear public place close by, neither was there enough path to create a good, continuous running sequence.
We then decided to look in Yarnton, which turned out to be perfect! The path leading to the field would be great for some of the running scenes; then the field and forest was perfect for shots we were planning to do to create our intense atmosphere.

This location would be perfect for the shots we are planning to shoot; the long path leading to the empty field and forest will be perfect to create the effect that 'Zoe' is completely isolated, away from any help if needed. Also when shooting in the forest, the lighting through the leaves, and the dense forest around 'Zoe' will create a tense atmosphere, which will result in the audience feeling worried for 'Zoe's' welfare.
In post production, we will be able to effect our media product with grey-scale, to further emphasis the eerie impression we are trying to make on the audience. The use of grey-scale will make our location look even more dramatic.
This shows how this area can be edited to become the perfect location to create the strong terror 'Zoe' is feeling, therefore making our audience empathise with her, feeling her adrenaline and terror.
