This is the location that we will be filming  the first scene of our short film. It is called The Island and is located in Bristol. Here is the website.

We chose this locations because it is able to give us not only a real police setting but because it has a very worn down aesthetic. The walls themselves have colour so after recording I will have to tone down the colour as the vibrate tones don't fit into the theme and genre of our film. 

The two characters that we are using that are based of fairytales are Goldilocks and Red Riding Hood. Both of these characters have big similarities and they are often seen together in drawings such as above.

Both the characters are portrayed as girls but both of the stories have been changed over time. Also both the stories take place in the woods with the girls more or less on their own. Lastly both stories include a wild animal that is seen as dangerous. Because of these similarities we want to have Red play a cameo in our short film.

This effect will help give the world that our film is set in slightly more depth by showing that there is more than one fairytale story that has been twisted.

We created a survey and sent it out to some of our audience. Most of the respondents were people who took part in a BFI workshop that looked at short films.  Here is a link to the survey that we sent out. Below is the raw data that we have. I will post later showing the conclusions of the results.
