Filming location



As our film goes into the use of torture devices we needed a location that would be believable and would help to bring fear to the audience like the torture device. The idea of "no escape" comes from the location making it more chilling.



Objects inside the room would help to make it seem smaller for a claustrophobic feel. In the image to the right there is many messy items that are scattered around that could suggest that the killer is a mess too.





The objects inside the room are very important too all of the objects are made to bring fear to the audience, following the opening many sharp killer objects will be placed into the room and many shots will emphasise how important they are in the opening . In this next picture is an example of objects to be found in the room, the large saw is very suggestive to the plot or torture that may occur later in the film, the blade is close to the camera making it seem more threatening. Behind it is a lot of rusty nails now telling the audience more about the setting, the rusty nails suggest decay in the location.






Finally another important feature for the horror location is the lighting, the setting needs to be dark to appear scary, the only natural light used in our setting will be the strip light, it will be covered more to lower the lighting. Also seen in this picture is the cobwebs that make the light darker n the scene creepier.



We chose to go up to the forest above the village as it is quite close by and as it gets dark the forest would appear to be quite scary.

We will be going deep into the forest so that all there is shown in the background is more trees, this will give a trapped and lost feeling for the character and the audience, also it is suggesting that there is someone or something hiding behind any of the trees.. Because of the season the trees are still at a stage where they are not blossoming. The bare trees create sinister shapes and form dark twisted shadows again creating a scary setting.
We will be making sure that there are no man-made objects in the shot (paths, wooden structures) this will show the audience that the victim is alone with no one around to help her.
