Planning And Shooting

Me and steph are planning of making a trailer to advertise a film similar to a cross between 'Hatchet' and 'The Blair witch project'
Steph found a forest near where her dad lives which is perfect location for our film as it's not in the middle of no where so if an issue we can go to her dads house.
One major issue with this place is the lighten, the school cameras aren't that well coping with bad lighten conditions, however me and Steph have our own cameras that will produce very good quality videos.
We are currently in the stage of picking our actors, we are choosing 3 actors(teenagers) because when research has been done, you are more likely 'to die' when in a group of 3 within a horror film.
We've also planned to have a BBQ for our actors and production team so our actors don't need to worry about lunch.
We are also getting a professional photographer in to do still photos throughout shooting, we won't have to pay anything as she is a very good friend of mine and she already offered letting me and Steph use her camera before hand.
But we don't want to cause any damage to her camera and we don't have the photography skills ourselves to make a really good set of photos, so i am going to ask her if she is available of the days me and Steph are getting out actors to the location.
