Location for final scene

Our final scene in the teaser trailer is a few short shots of the protagonist and antagonist attacking one another after a moments pause. This scene is supposed to follow the "running scene" that has been the main focus throughout the trailer. As such, Joe will be wearing the same clothing that he was last seen in during the last running scene, and the location will be in a woodland area.

I posted earlier saying that we wanted to use an area in Headley to film this scene. However, we have found an area that we prefer: an area that appears to have suffered a forest fire on top of a hill in Ashtead common, and this is where we now plan to film.

Location choice for a scene that establishes the antagonists

We are thinking of using a graveyard for the scene in which our antagonists are introduced in the teaser trailer. Our reason for this choice is because we think that a dark graveyard may have connotations of evil and creepiness, therefore making it easy for the audience to identify that these characters are antagonists. However we are aware that there are issues with filming such a scene, primarily because our actors will all be holding guns, and this may be seen as disrespectful and could offend some people and viewers.

Ongoing props list

Samuri sword - protagonist
Decorative hunting sword - antagonist
Replica assult rifles - protagonist, antagonist, henchmen
Soviet style gas masks - henchmen
Flint-lock pistol - protagonist, antagonist, henchmen

Location Change

After looking around at different locations, Rohan and I have decided to change the location of our 'running scene' from Oxshot common to an area in Headley that we think is much more visually similar to the location we had in mind when we had our original idea.

Storyboard Animatic

We have created an animatic shot list. We aim to begin filming these scenes sometime next month, after we have collected all the necessary props and costume bits.

Although we have annotated each slide, the most important information is in the images themselves.
