Location shots (woods)- dream sequence (opening)

A good location to shoot the opening shots as it has many places where the protagonist will search for his brother. The opening sequence is a dream sequence where the younger brother is playing hide and seek with his older brother. This location is very good for a dream sequence as it creates an unusual feel of fantasy. It also alows for the younger brother to expand his imagination toward the area as during the dream sequence he will be very young, meaning that this enviroment would also be typical of a place for young children to play. The 'dream' will be more of an exaggerated memory and we will cut straight from it to the boy waking up.



This long shot will be used at the begining of the sequence to introduce the area and the children.

This is a very good shot as it will allow us to shoot the young boy running into the darkness
of the trees. Making the sequence slightly darker.

The light and shadow in this shot allows for a hidden look that makes the
enviroment seem more secretive than open, which could create a feeling
of claustraphobia or a feeling of isolated security, which will then be borken
by the  'jump' scare of him waking up from the dream

This shot allows for the oposite shot to the opening, allowing the audience
to see the same shot from the inside

This allows for similar feeling of isolation and security, but allows for more light because
the ambient light of the sum lightens the mood, as it is normally hidden from the inside.
