Grindleford Film

I met up with my group to discuss what ideas we had for the film that would also fit the brief and we sat for a few hours just coming up with ideas. Eventually we decided on the tree in Grindleford )The one with coins hammered into it) could be a magical tree and it could teleport the protagonist to an unknown location. We then built on this idea saying that the protagonist was attempting to escape from something in Sheffield, running through a door she ended up magically re appearing in Grindleford and not able to get back through the door she just came through as it is now a brick wall. The protaginst then walks off to try and find help or a way home only to be followed by a strange person that lives in the forest that she has re appeared in. This person attempts to stop our protagonist from touching this magical tree before it teleports her away but does not manage to stop her in time and to finish up we will be in a very strange and surreal room that we have decided to call "The Red Room" We quite like the idea of making this film magical as Grindleford itself seemed like a quite magical location, in fact when people ask where I have been filming they almost always respond with "Is that in Harry Potter?" We have cast ready to shoot and the basic outline for the events is already prepared so the film is already taking shape at this point so early on and that is good. The film will show a gradual change in both colour from Green, Orange to Red to show how the protagonist is progessing towards danger during the Grindleford scene. We already have this partly planned as different areas of the woods have different coloured leaves on the floor... red, orange and still green leaves but this means we will need to shoot soon before the leaves deteriorate and make this idea impossible.
