Location Research

We are thinking about using ashtead common for our sci fi movie. It would be a great location as it could show a good area for a spaceship crash and a unknown person confused on where she is. We feel the area can make it look like a deserted area and we feel that if we film here then we can add to the effect of no civilization. Ashtead Common is a very big and quiet area we feel that this could be used to our advantage. 

We are also thinking about doing our film at leatherhead park this is most likely not going to be used as it is not what were looking for but its a good plan B. We decided that this area could be a good plan B as it does have an empty area but there are a few disadvantages and we obviously prefer Ashtead Common. The reasons we don't feel this is the best area is because it has a lot of civilization and even a park, there is usually dog walking happening at the back where we thinking about doing where all the trees are. Also we feel that the area doesn't seem empty and filled with trees and that is what we are looking for. 

The 3rd and final location is my school Therfield School. This is not third choice we did use this location for 2 reasons. We used it for the drama studio to film one of the scenes with the villain in it we wanted a dark feel to it and a technical feel to it and the drama studio has these things it was perfect for its uses and the drama studio was perfect for the scene although we could have improved on some bits as it did not really look like the inside of a spaceship. The other reason we used therfield school was for the dark room for our first scene, we wanted the dark room because we wanted to focus on Vicky face and show technical sci fi stuff and it was perfect for what we wanted as it ended up looking really good.
