I decided to film in the areas I chose before I made the storyboard of my film. I visited the field/road I would use for the "Dream" scene at the beginning and planned the shots there. I decided to use this area because it is usually very quiet, the trees/bushes had lost most of their leaves, and you could see far into the distance. All these aspects added to the eerieness and mysteriousness of the opening scene.

I decided my house was a suitable setting for what I had planned for the next part of the opening. I also used it for ease of access and that I could film when I was ready. I practised some of the shots before I filmed them so that when it came to film, I was able to get straight on to filming. I also planned to film at night.

This is where my next problem arised. I was originally going to use my friend in my film, however, when it came to the day of filming, he was unable to help me. So instead, I used myself in my film and asked my sister to assist me with the filming. I chose to do this because I wanted to keep to my schedule, and I was unaware of any other days I was free to film.
I decided to use a boy in the opening sequence because I wanted to gain more of an audience reaction by going against the traditional use of females as victims.
