(Where the majority of the Sequence will take place)
On the left, you may see a few shots of the definite location our Thriller opening sequence is going to take place in for the most part. 
Toton Sidings, as nicknamed due to the train depot nearby, is a free space available to the public without necessary permission. This immediately became attractive to us (Ed initially having the idea of filming here, due to previous knowledge) as there isn't any need hassle over permissions or availability of the space. 
The area is also very well lit, with natural sunlight exploiting any shadows of trees and voergrowth. The period of the year in which we're filming (winter) is also rather appropriate due to the bare trees and the unkept condition it appears to be in. These conditions appeared to be popular in our audience research (as shown in my audience research post). 
As well as this, the lighting offers a very natural, high-key light which is also an aspect proved to be popular through our audience research. However, due to our reliance on natural lighting, we won't be able to control it very much which may make re-filming (if need be) very difficult.
Furthermore, the location isn't very far to access and therefore props such as chairs and equipment are easy to transport safely.
We must ensure that the premises are checked before filming to confirm that there is no immediate danger that could affect the function of the camera, or to avoid accidents. We must also check the premises after filming to ensure that any parts of the equipement or props isn't left behind. This is due to the small parts which are required to use the equipment, for an example, the lense cap. We will aslo ensure that these are securely put away in areas such as pockets where the cannot be forgotten.
Due to the nature of the environment, some areas may be unsafe to travel on. We will be sure to avoid these areas (such as uneven terrain), not only to aid perfect filming first time (hopefully), but also to prevent any accidents and injuries to our actors and us.
Additionally, we must ensure that there is clear way to record any sound that is needed, for which details are provided in my 'sound' post.
