Location
Location is key within a horror, it helps portray the story and what may happen. For our horror trailer we took inspiration from The Women in Black, we loved the primary location of the haunted house as it was isolated and abandoned. Here are some of our location choices for our Horror.
Abandoned Cabin
This is our first location we found, it is an abandoned Cabin located in Longlevens. We thought this would be a great location for our horror as it is spooky, secluded and abandoned, the perfect location to shot a horror trailer. This is also similar to the location in the film The Women in Black, as we wanted our cabin to almost portray that something bad is going to happen and that a spirt haunts the house, just like the spirit in the Women in Black.
We used this location to shot several scenes, firstly where the 4 teenagers arrive at there holiday destination to suddenly release it wasn't what they thought. Secondly we used it to shoot our picnic scene where were playing cricket and exploring the area around the cabin. |
Holly's House
We used several aspects of Holly's house to help us film, we used holly's house as we were unable to use the inside of our haunted cabin. the first room we used to film was the family bathroom, we used this location to film Ffion's death and we also used it for where Holly see's Mr Cullen for the first time. The second room we used was the kitchen, we used the kitchen for 2 scenes, the first being where the 4 of the teenagers are messing about playing truth or dare and drinking on the first night of there holiday. We then used the kitchen to shot Hannah's death in the kitchen sink.
Boiler room (Basement)
We used Churchdown School's Boiler room as the basement of the old creepy Cabin, we chose this location as it is an old, damp and has a dark space. We thought it would be a good place to hide the dead bodies as it was a place that the teenagers haven't discovered yet.
We used this location to shoot the last scenes in our trailer, Ryan's death scene and the discovery of Hannah's and Ffion's dead bodies. Whilst were in the boiler room we also shot Ryan seeing Holly (Mr Cullen) and him ending his life.

Garage
We used the Garage to show Holly and Mr Cullen, this was just a short scene in which the doors fly open and Holly and Mr Cullen are stood there. We thought this shot would be effective because it displays how Mr Cullen is controlling Holly and using her to kill and capture the innocent teenagers.
