As we wanted our location to appear abandoned and far from built up areas, we decided a rural location would be ideal. As we had access and permission, we decided to film on Cheveley Park Stud. Here are some possible areas where we could film. These photos show an area known as 'The Pit'. It well suited to our needs as it is fairly remote, well lit and offers a great variety of locations. The picture 1 shows 'The Pit' itself, a large manmade hill. It offers a good vantage point overlooking many of the other nearby locations. Adjacent to The Pit is a wooded area, containig a derelict birdwatching hide (Pictures 4,5 and 6). Looking out of the cliff like face of The Pit (Pictures 2 and 3) is a large clearing. This would be ideal for the main part of our opening

The next area is known as 'The Castle', as a 12th Century castle once stood there. The moat is still visible as the enormous ditch (Picture 9)surrounding the hill. This location is even more remote than the last, although the large amount of trees restricts lighting, even when they are dead. The castle mound itselfhas several small pieces of ruin on it, as well as the mostly intact 'Ice House', which was originally used a food store(Picture8). Although it is impossible to enter, the entrance itself is extremely sinster looking (Picture 7).
