Our initial idea was to film the whole task in one location; that location being Heaton Park. We were going to end the main task with the main protagonist (Emma), being chased from behind and being caught. In our initial idea, there was no plan of showing the main protagonist dead or unconscious throughout the task. We then decided we wanted the film to be more interesting and have a bit more depth that it had in the beginning, so we decided to use one more location to show the transition from the main character being followed, to when she has been captured and is lay in a tunnel. The different and second location we decided to use was Platt Fields as we wanted to add more to the task, as it would be dull if it was just the main protagonist walking through an area of forest. We also did not have much footage, so that was another reason we decided to film parts of it in Platt Fields park in Fallowfield.

We thought Heaton Park would be a good place to film our task as it has a lot of wooded areas, and would be a good place to film the type of film we wanted to. It was a good location to be able to show the main character being followed and watched through bushes etc. Platt Fields was also a good area to shoot parts of our films as it also had some wooded area, and has some deserted parts that mad us able to portray the fact that a body had been dumped, or taken to a particular quiet place, in a derelict area that not many people would pass and see. eg, the tunnel we used to film the main character lying down dead, as it is covered by bushes and trees on both sides and to get there you have to walk through trees and bushes.

We decided that the shots we had filmed in the tunnel at Platt Fields were going to be used as flash forwards throughout certain bits of the film, to portray to the viewer that something has happened, or is going to happen. However, how it happens is not known, as they are only quick flash forwards and do not tell the whole story.
