Our Locations

We have chosen the places in which we will be filming for our film.

Bus Stop, Lime Kiln, Highstreet.
Just off the road, and opposite St. Bartholomew's is a bus stop with a bricked seating area. This is an effective place to film for the effect we want our audience to get- It looks quite urban, and is beside a very busy road. 

Royal Wootton Bassett Highstreet
 The Highstreet is another busy place which is suitable area for our shot where our terrorist is walking through the town. 

BoroughFields
This is a shopping center, and will be the target of the attack. 

Shutdown Co-Op
This shutdown Co-op store looks very rundown and unused, and generally is not n such a pleasant state. It's quite quiet here bar from the occasional alarms, which would only add to the Post-Apocalyptic effect we're trying to give the audience. However, it's likely we will have to use an effect to give it a dull yellow hue to drain out the colours from the scene a little, giving it a more apocalyptic feeling, as it would give the effect of devastation and lifelessness.

Script and Call Sheet

Image from secondary source, of coarse


We wrote a script for our actors and a call sheet for our staff, telling them what will be needed, at what times top be there, etc.

Characters;
-Bill Robbins
-Ben Raven
-Jerry Cuvette

                    Silence. Bill and Ben are smoking, sat on the steps. Jerry is sharpening a knife. Not a word        is spoken for about 10 seconds into the scene.

Ben;       Well, we’re still alive… I guess we’re not doing too badly?

                    Another silence, lasting about 5 seconds.

Jerry;     So… What do we do now?

Bill;        What is there to do? We’ve just gotta find a way to survive. Everyone else’s probably dead       by now. Else, they’re killing themselves or the guy next to ‘em.

Ben;       At least we get free shit, heh.


Bill;        (Sarcastically) Yeah. This country’s been royally Screwed, but at least we get everyone’s            stuff.

Ben;       I still don’t get how this crap began.

Bill;        Some biological weapon which messes people up, I dunno.

                    Jerry Stops sharpening the knife.

Jerry;     It was actually a virus which effects human behaviour, making them much more violent             towards other humans, it was supposedly being developed for use by the Russians     somehow, in 1985, but was stolen by the-

Bill;        (Interrruptings!) what ever, man, the important thing’s that it was used on us, and now shit’s screwed up. Look. We just need to stay away from people.


Ben;       Screw that. We’re screwed anyway. We might as well have fun with ‘em.

                    Pause.

                Jerry, Sharpen the goddamn knifes!

                    Ben throws an object in  Jerry’s direction. Jerry hastily begins working on the knife again.
