Since we wanted to have our location within the woods, to film our match on action etc when she is remembering the ordeal that she went through. We decided it was essential to have a woodland that was surrounded by nature, to ensure that within our footage that she is immersed in her surroundings. Further we needed there to be a great amount of shrubbery such as trees above to create a sense of claustrophobia within the shots, and the sense of entrapment not only within the location but in the past where the event took place. Therefore, we decided to film in Oxleas Woods based in Eltham which is 8,000 years old and over 8 million square feet, a wild woodland that is a complete contrast to the concrete jungle that surrounds it. Not only is it a commutable distance for filming for both us and our actress, but due to its sheer size it loses the likelihood that we will be interrupted within filming by dog walkers etc. meaning that we can film longer shots of our actress especially in her disjointed state. Below are some photographs from our location scouting of Oxleas Woods:
