Filming Location - Helsby Hill

Here is a screenshot of the location, Helsby Hill, as seen from Google Maps. On a visit to Wales, I used my older brother to film a certain scene in the trailer. I was aware of the Cold War nuclear Bunker which has been abandoned for a long time up there, we managed to get inside easily and I used the footage as the opening material in my teaser. No effects were required to this shot either, the bunker room was decaying and run-down, the light coming in from above, a pale over-cast white glow, so the footage had no intense colour saturation. I made sure he was wearing a dark coat and trousers also, to fit in with the mise-en-scene (costumes) the character plays in other scenes. I my-self and two of my brothers make up this character in different scenes.

Here are the final shots filmed at Helsby Hill for the teaser opening:
