We got the idea to film in Highgate Cemetery after realising
that filming in a ‘haunted’ graveyard could set a very scary setting for the audience.
Highgate Cemetery is probably the most famous cemetery in England and as there
are lots of famous people buried there, there are a lot of impressive looking
and creepy graves. As the whole graveyard is covered in trees it makes it very
dark and atmospheric in there, so this will add to the creepy mood of the
graveyard. It would fit in very well with the plot of our film, as we are
considering making a found footage movie. Graveyards are just the sort of
places that these sorts of films tend to go to, so I think that we could get
some very exciting shots there.
The practicalities of shooting there are slightly more
difficult. The cemetery is open for the majority of the day. However there may
be a lot of people around and there may be security guards who might stop us
filming. To counter the first of these we've found an inset day in the middle
of the week, and as this is only a holiday for our particular school there
shouldn't be too many people around - who goes to a famous cemetery in the
middle of the week? I'm not sure what security will be like, but I'm sure we'll
be able to get around it and that we'll at least be able to film something. The
only other problem is that we won't be able to do so much planning in advance,
as there aren't pictures that would show us the whole location and where all
the interesting parts are.
