The Beach
Coastal areas round Norfolk aren't a stretch to reach so finding a beach to film on was not a challenge, but getting full cast to a cold beach in the middle of nowhere was a challenge.
Cromer beach was idealistic in terms of reaching this area but due to the dense population due to the popularity of the area it meant it would be hard to catch a slot where there were no people on the beach for the isolated sense we wanted to portray. Also the problem with Cromer beach is that it is a thin strip of beach with the town hanging over the edge of it, this would have detracted from the level of isolation if there where houses and shops in the background. 
Thornham Beach was a lot more remote, its a long wide beach with dunes and marshes which was the kind of set we were hoping for. The area is also a lot less populated and there are little to no pedestrians during winter months, which was perfect for our film. The whole marshland was
ideal because it looks quite sinister and gloomy. so we decided that this would be the ideal location to shoot our film.
The Police Station
Obviously expecting to be able to film inside an actual police station was unrealistic but we attempted to re create the same white, harsh and dull layout of a police station.
Bedroom - We were looking for a room with harsh lighting and minimal colours. We chose to use a plain spare bedroom as it looked similar to how a waiting room would. By adding props like wanted posters and police warning posters we helped create a sense of place.
Attleborough Police Station- we decided to include a long shot of Police station, Attleborough because its local, to show where the cuts are jumping to and the significance of the police force throughout the film.
