Location Info

The starting location is in the alley opposite the station leading up to the church. The alley is between the two fields and is a narrow pathway. We have chosen this location, as it is a very secluded area with fields on either side. Also there are some really old houses, which in the evening add to the affect of the thriller convention, as they look mysterious and creepy.

Our location actually changed once we arrived at the location as it didn't make sense that she would run past the old fashioned houses and not stop and scream for help. Instead we used the muddy track which was next to The Vicarage where we shot the Flashbacks as the family are close family friends and they have a front and back door in that weren't see through glass, like mine, and were in close range of the main shooting location which was the church.

Actors

Johnny Depp

John Christopher "Johnny" Depp II (born June 9, 1963) is an American actor and musician known for his portrayals of offbeat, eccentric characters such as Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean film series, Raoul Duke in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and Sam in Benny & Joon.

Depp rose to prominence in a lead role on the television series 21 Jump Street and quickly became regarded as a teen idol. Uncomfortable with that characterization, he turned his focus to film roles that he felt were right. He initially came to film prominence as the titular character of Edward Scissorhands, and later found box office success in roles such as Ichabod Crane in Sleepy Hollow, Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean film series and his role as the quirky Willy Wonka in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

He has collaborated with director and close friend Tim Burton in seven films, the most recent of which include Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007) and the upcoming Alice in Wonderland. Depp has garnered acclaim for his portrayals of real life figures such as Edward Wood, Jr., in Ed Wood, Joseph D. Pistone in Donnie Brasco and George Jung in Blow (2001). More recently, he portrayed legendary bank robber John Dillinger in Michael Mann's 2009 film Public Enemies.

Films featuring Depp have grossed over $2.3 billion at the United States box office and over $4.8 billion worldwide. Nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor three times, Screen Actors Guild Awards four times and Golden Globe Awards eight times, Depp won the Best Actor Awards from the Golden Globes for his role in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and from the Screen Actors Guild for Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.

Jennifer Joanna Aniston (born February 11, 1969) is an American actress. She became famous in the 1990s for her role as Rachel Green in the US sitcom Friends, a role for which she won an Emmy Award, a Golden Globe Award, and a Screen Actors Guild Award.
She has starred in many Hollywood films. While most of her film roles have been in comedies such as Bruce Almighty, Office Space, Rumor Has It, and the romantic comedies Along Came Polly and The Break-Up, she has also appeared in films from other genres, such as the comedy-horror Leprechaun and the crime thriller Derailed.

The 180 degree rule

One simple principle when shooting subjects is considering ‘the line’, known as the 180-degree rule. For some filmmakers and/ or videographers this may come naturally, but this is one major principle, no matter your degree of experience or knowledge, that every camera operator needs to always consider; otherwise his or her work will appear amateurish.
The 180-degree rule is an imaginary line or the axis of action drawn across the frame or screen. It is the location where not only action or the direction a subject is moving, but it is also the sightlines, or the character’s direction of vision. Once shooting has begun, the camera operator needs to stay on one side of the line in which they initially started shooting that particular action.

To break the 180 degree rule you move the camera, while shooting, across the line. For example, a Steadicam operator tracking around the subject(s) while shooting, thus creating a continuous flow of action--does not break the 180-degree rule. The operator may stop anywhere, but once stopped, there’s always a line.
The main thing you must consider, whether planning your shots while storyboarding or while blocking the set, is to consider the 180-degree rule. It’s simple to follow! Once the line is followed, you automatically create a continuous flow of action and a logical sense of direction within your video.
