Location

For our film, we will be shooting in a large park in Zephyrhills, Florida. This is the only location we will be shooting at. Since our opening sequence is only two minutes long, we do not want include that much location change so we kept it simple and just stuck to the same location. My partner Jackie and I felt that a park would be a perfect place for the plot of our film. Many movies that all under the dramatic thriller genre are usually shot in locations that are in public or can even be shot in rural areas. Usually movies with kidnappings are shot in parks because that’s where most kids go and can get lost easily if not watched. Jackie and I wanted to follow this idea just because it would not be difficult to shoot there. However, Jackie and I are planning on shooting when there is no one else at the park. We did this because we felt that it would add a spookier effect to the movie due to the fact that the mom and the daughter are the “only ones there.”

These pictures were taken from Zephyr Park in Zephyrhills, Florida. This is the exact park in which we will be filming at. Since Zephyrhills is a smaller town in Florida, there are not many people who go there. This is perfect for us because there will most likely not be any kids playing on the playground while we are shooting. We chose this specific location because we live right by it so it would not be a long drive if by any chance we had to reshoot. Jackie and I have also been to this park many times so we are familiar with the surroundings.
