This is a location which we are considering for use in the clip of a horror film which we are planning to produce. Theses two pictures of a road are both atmospheric and appear scary in different ways. In both cases the narrowing road leads the eye towards the end. However, in the first picture the furthest point is lit by a reddish light which could cause the audience to associate it with blood and horror. It could possibly be a burning building or the entrance to something which the audience may fear. The overhanging trees frame the pillars and you are hemmed in by the wall on the other side. In the second picture by contrast the narrowing road ends in total darkness. This makes the audience scared in a different way. We have a natural fear of the unknown and of darkness and deserted areas. Since the person looking up the road is in a pool of light they would be very obvious to somebody or something hiding in the shadows. Again the wall hems us in leaving no opportunity for escape.
