Rippingale Train Track Shot


This shot shows the a complete view of the layout of where we are filming. This picture was taken at about 3:30 in the afternoon though so it is much darker than it will be at the actual time when we are looking to film.
The surrounding fields might be quite useful to show open land and that it is genuinely a train track in the middle of nowhere. Also, the train that is already on the track is inactive but it could be useful in helping us to produce an ident or even our titles and credits.
The house behind is an old railway station and has a proper platform in front of it which we will use to our advantage to perform the kidnapping although getting our damsel in distress onto the platform may be a struggle to perform and and make to look realistic.
Unfortunately, this area is the end of the inactive line so we have to film in the direction of the inactive train that is in the way of an actual train coming, causing problems with our storyline. The other direction to film in shows the end of the line which could cause an issue with our storyline as the train would not be travelling at the usual speeds when the line is about to end. Luckily, a train would still kill anyone it hit even going at 5mph so hopefully people will see it that way and still ntoice that our storyline is possible and realistic.
