Location Planning

When deciding on where we wanted to film our horror opening we had to consider whether the locations where easily accessible and if they were suitable to a horror opening or not. Therefore this resulted in the decisions that we made for our locations.

Our first location we are going to use is a basement, We feel that this is one of the best locations to use because our film is based around a stalker and we feel that the basement would have the greatest effect on the audience due to it being a dark place and the fact that it isn't the largest basement so this furthermore has a greater effect as it could make the audience feel claustrophobic. We also feel that the basement is the best location for our opening because we have a scene where the antagonist comes into the basement and runs his had over a set of tools and reveals a board of all his targets.







Next, we feel that the stairs in the basement are effective because we can get a good camera angle of the stalker coming down the stairs, where we don't have to reveal their face in order to add mystery to the opening of the film as no one knows who he is or how he looks.











In the location of the basement, there is a small outside area which we will use and we will film the stalker walking past the window but yet not being discovered who he is, this will add panic to the audience as they won't know what he is doing. However we are yet to decide whether we will film this scene of the opening in the daytime or the evening.


We will also be filming in an office at Thomas Clarkson Academy. This is because in the opening of the horror film we have the detective in the film who is becoming stressed out by the case of the antagonist and it shows the detective at his desk. This location is good for every member of the group because it is easily accessible due to the fact that we all go to the sixth form. This saves us a lot of time trying to go around Wisbech trying to hire out an office because we don't have one in our homes.
