Tunnels - Fort Amhurst

In today's lesson we actually went and visited the location we are using, Fort Amherst which is located in Chatham area and has a lot of history to it and it was used as a place where soldiers would go if they were injured and it was also next to the dockyard which was used for impoting and exporting goods aswell as storing navy boats and ships. The part of the Fort that we went and had a look at was the tunnels and we thought that it was a very good location and it was very big, it was a bit tight through the corridors and another places but when we found a room or when we got to the a dead-end there was a lot of space for us to use which was quite handy for us so it means that we can try to use it to our advantages. When walking around the Fort I felt quite creeped out purely on the basis that it was very dark and very cold and the place is supposed to be haunted which I feel we can maybe scare the audience if we choose to go down the route in which we want to do something a bit scary. I asked the tour guide whether he had experienced anything paranormal and he said that he had been pushed down the stairs and was laughed at by someone that he couldn't actually see which I thought was quite interesting and I feel as if we can maybe tie in someway something related to this so we can really push boundaries is to actually scare ourselves as well as the audience. The location itself was absolutely lovely to visit earthing the lighting inside of the times as well we could really use that to our advantage and we can actually create something rather sinister.

Once we had a look around the location myself and other class mates were discussing about what ideas we had gathered from viewing the tunnels and a small group of us had came up with this idea that maybe instead of doing something futuristic we could actually go back to this whole mental institution kind of idea with but we have to try and think of a storyline to go with it but also to think of a way that we can use the space appropriately and also a effectivly.
