Emma conducted a recce at our woods location, Sydenham Hill Woods, and scouted possible locations for our scenes in a woodland area. The woods had a great diversity of scenery and landscapes which will give us huge diversity when filming with the convenience of being in one location.
Through the entrance of Crescent Lane she found a possible location of the Upper Sydenham Railway tunnel. This originally was a station that closed in the late 1950's and has since been left and taken over by nature.
This site would be good to capture an urban edge to the shots in the woods.
Following the path to the centre, the 'walks' collide. At this point the area has a wooden bridge which may be of interest, and segregated paths. All of these elements would be good for shots that have to last for longer.
As Emma walked further into the woods she found a great location with high levels of foliage. This location on the edge of sydenham woods and was next to dulwich wood.
She believes this area would be good for the scene where we see Mr White and Mr Pink walking through the woods with shovels; and for the multiple scenes with the girl running away. She thinks this area would be good because it gives the feeling of being deep in woods in the middle of nowehere.
