Location Shots!

We decided that the best idea for a horror setting was an average house. The research that me and my group did, showed us that loads of well-known horror movies are set in houses, and like in Paranormal Activity, our young couple have only just moved in.

This place is where the film starts off, and a young man is sitting there watching television. We did this to show that the man was settling into his new home, but was being lazy at the same time, whilst the woman was making tea in the kitchen. This shows the audience the stereotypical man, because they are known for not doing a lot, and making the women do the work.

This is another part of the house, the hallway. We used this for the scariest part of our opening scene, and we thought it worked well because it was a tight, compact space, and their is a mirror to the right of the picture, which we sadly couldn't get in. I think that the hallway also shows a sign of no escape, and it looks quite long and dark.

We used the kitchen of the house to introduce the young female character in our film. The reason for this is because the stereotypical woman works in the kitchen, so we thought that we would go along with it. She then aggressively makes a cup of tea, so it could signify that she isn't in the best of moods, and something could be bothering her. We thought this was appropriate for our genre, as it shows the audience around the setting.

 

We used the setting above us to film our Title Sequence. This is the place where the young girl is writing in the book on the table. We used this spot because when the lights were off it looked like it would suit our horror genre. Also the space is quite compact, which i think adds to the tension.
