Before starting our filming we had to plan out the storyboard and before that we had to select our genre, there were many possibilities, but in the end we decided to go with action as this would have been unique to all the horror movies our peers were planning. But action was also a hard decision as most Hollywood action films are funded in the millions. so we had to improvise with what we had so we decided to make a chase scene. Instead of having all the equipments, like camera cranes, or helicopters, we instead found a good location and had to work with it as it have a good stand or a establishing shot.

We managed to find a very good fast paced soundtrack which fitted with the sequence and sounded very professional, luckily it was royalty fee. But unfortunately because it was not our movies score so it wasn't made for it so we had to do some audio editing to get it perfectly lined up with the movie.

We also did not have any ‘big name’ actors to our film but we manage to fit in three amateur actors who fitted very well into our movie. We also did not have enough crew members for our camera and editing but instead we had one guy who used one camera throughout our opening scenes and did all the editing using programs like after effects and V-cut Pro. We also did not have the technology that big budget Hollywood films have to edit our film and to add special effects we wished to add. We manage to locate a good location for our chase scene in Castle field, instead of searching around the world for exotic places for our film.

We also managed to get another group to be our associated production for our own productions. Unlike any other film production companies we only managed to gather a few group of people who we intend to be our target audience, instead of having a hundred people watching it in a cinema. We would have loved to have our film to be produced by Universal but with all the low budget equipment and effects, we had thought that this film could possibly only be produced by Working Title.
