Location Research



We are planning on opening the two minutes in some woods, more specifically Bookham woods. We will only film here for a section of our two minutes as we thought it was a good setting to include the opening credits while building tension because of the spooky atmosphere surrounding the character. The atmosphere of the woods   naturally takes you out of your comfort zone when on your own, making the audience feel on edge and as though something will happen to this character. 


We chose to record part of our two minutes in the woods in Bookham because it is closer to the next location we are going to film our movie, it also has a very cold feel to it which sets the scene of the chilling story line. Filming in this area may be quite hard because of the amount of light as it's winter time it gets darker quicker, this might not be a bad thing as the darkness and dull complexion of the sky will set the scene of our horror movie.


Our second location we are planning to include in our opening two minutes is a regular home for regular middle class/working class people; using this home is a convention of most horror movies because it helps the audience feel more engaged in the film as they will be able to relate it to their everyday life, which will increase and leave fear even when the film is over because they would go home to the same lifestyle that was presented in the movie. 

The house we have chosen to use for our opening two minutes is suitable as a location because of the way the interior is set out i.g. the stairs go directly to the bathroom which we are going to show in our movie to build tension
