Land Rover

I managed to borrow a Land Rover off a friend from back home, this car would serve as Jim's vehicle in the film. The car is currently under maintenance however I'm assured it will be ready and running in time for the shoot. Their is a rear window in the car that we can potentially shoot through if need be but shooting from the passenger side would also work. The car has three seats and so I plan to not only use the car as a prop but a transport vehicle for the crew and equipment. I feel that the bright yellow is slightly iconic to look at I feel it adds character to the film rather than being intrusive. With my insurance policy I can drive the car though we will sort out the necessary requirements for the actor prior to filming. I spoke to Luke Wren the art director about the car and he mentioned dressing the interior to suit the character of Jim, he talked about hanging rosary beads from the mirror suggesting that Jim is a religious character, I would lim to get a close up shot of these beads hanging from the mirror to maybe open the car scene, a motif that relates to the biblical theme of the film. 

The car may be useful when filming the dream sequence that opens the film, I plan to get a shot looking back at Shawn as he runs toward the camera down the road, shooting out the back of the Land Rover could work to achieve this, if the road is smooth enough.
