The second shoot occured a few days after the first. I was originally planning to take my own SLR (which is seen in the first part), and have the central character walking around the forest taking photographs, which ties into the photo album from the first part. However, it decided to rain and I didn't want to risk carrying my camera around and it getting damaged in the rain. So I thought the character could just be taking a walk through the forest looking at the scenery similar to that he has pictures of in his album.

I didn't use any kind of artificial lighting in this section as I thought it would be too difficult to take a generator up some of the hills with just myself and my actor. So I decided to use all natural lighting.
I used similar shots to those seen in The Lovely Bones and also took influence of a number of different films such as Harry Potter and the Twilight Saga which show people walking around in the forest. I preplanned all of the shots beforehand so that when I went on the shoot it was done in good time.
Overall, I feel that this and the first shoot were extremely successful.
