Location Difficulties

Here is where we had originally planned on filming:

This is the entrance to the woods were we were going to film our opening sequence, however as you can see in the picture it was too dark for anything in the image to be made out. This meant we couldn't use it to film in. We filmed in a location where there were street lights so we could actually see what the characters were doing, this was in a road next to the woods.

This is an aerial shot of the area we filmed in. The red circle shows the woods where we were going to film, and the yellow diamond shows the area were we ended up filming.

The reason as to why we weren't able to film in our first choice film location was due to the fact that our filming schedule got messed up because one of our actors was ill on the day we originally planned to film. This pushed us back in terms of time so when we finally were able to film, the early winter sunset of February put our original filming location in the dark; it would have been impossible to see what we were actually videoing. If we had had more time we might have been able to film the shot again when it was a bit lighter, but there was no other time when all of us were able to get together to film and by this point we needed to start putting together all our footage and start the editing process. 

Even though the stalker's attack wasn't filmed in our first choice location, we feel that the fact that the stalker attacked his victim in the middle of a busy road emphasises his mental state. He is obviously out of his mind since he is killing teen girls, but as he went to the extremity of doing it when other people were about it becomes more apparent to the audience of just how disturbed he is.
