Me and my friends are going to try and survive in the wilderness for 3 days for a school project. We are filming all of it and it will be somewhat in the same vain as survive shows on television.
None of us don't know that much about the wilderness or the forest in general.
Ziggy,
My advice:
Don't.
Part of survival is knowing how to not put yourself in more danger than you already are.
Take some time to learn from those experienced (classes, find a mentor, etc) and practice the skills you will need before you put your life on the line (that is what is at stake with "wilderness survival").
Start off with day hikes (equipped adequately) and move on to camping, backpacking, then work your way to survival situations.
It looks like fun on TV and it can get real ugly really fast and 3 days is plenty of time to die or worse (such as having to live a long life with the memory of watching a friend die).
If you read the past posts from those in the forum, you'll see where they've practiced certain skills in the backyard or park and found out what worked and what didn't. There is no substitute for hands on experience.
I'd hate to see you and your friends as candidates for the Darwin awards.
