Ideas of how we can capture the woods

Seeing as the first day of our filming is almost here I've decided to find similar films and find inspiration in the way we can successfully capture the forest and the fear of the main character. 


The film 'shrooms' contains a lot of scenes of people running

Here are some of my favourite shots:

Here the camera is focused on her

Fast-paced editing builds up tension, which also made it impossible for me to pause
at the right moment. 

This shot has a clear view of the forest and the subject is almost in the corner.
It allows the audience to get familiar with the setting the character is in. 

In the BBC drama 'Sherlock' the second episode of the second season begins with a little boy running through the woods with continues flashbacks. 


I was unable to find a proper video of this scene on youtube but this video has certain scenes from the opening of the episode. 

This particular episode has encouraged us to try and use a similar technique to film parts of our opening. When the little boy runs the camera captures his facial expression. This shaky effect almost makes the audience feel as if they're running with the child and essentially makes them feel uncomfortable.
