Things that didn't work/fit and the problems we faced:

Locations:

As a group we decided to keep the 'underpass' as our main location but also to use Abby's house where Chloe's (anonymous) character would have her violent breakdown. These two locations, the sixth form car park and the little play-park by some abandoned flats were our best shot but also really worked because they perfectly fit our aim (simplicity yet keeping a sense of uniqueness) and also the fact that the majority of horrors use derelict, unused, abandoned areas. These choices also mixed well with the fact that this is what our target audience required through the results that we gathered in our questionnaire.

However, there were some setbacks as one of our locations was Leigh Woods which we really liked because we wanted a chase scene at some point in our clip. Although this sounded like a good idea, both Miss Davis and us as a group realised that having a chase scene and especially in some woods was a bad idea. This was because it linked back with the idea that horrors always use chases and dark woods. It is a very predictable location as it has already been used so many times. We wanted to keep it simple so we decided to only use 4-5 locations and make the underpass and Abby's house as the main ones.
