Final Location

 

Location changes

Our group has decided to use only one house for our horror film as using the two houses meant that it was difficult to get the same amount of light in each shot. Another problem that we would have encountered is that the rooms would not join together and it may become difficult to make it look normal for the audience. An advantage of using one house is that we can stay in one location all the time and it will not get confusing.



For the location of our horror film we have chosen a house as we feel that it is a setting that people can relate to and causes the audience to feel that the situation we have created could happen to them. It also will make the audience feel very uncomfortable as somebody’s house is meant to be a place where they feel safe and secure although in this case it is very dangerous. Also by using a house it means we are not outside so it is easier to make the light the same which means the continuity of our film works well.

We have chosen to use both Lauren’s and Ellis’s houses (pictures below) as they are a traditional setting. We are using two houses as Ellis’s house has a big window in the sitting room that we will use when shooting the scene when the two girls are watching television although Laurens house has stairs that have easy access to film so when we film this part of the scene we will use her house. I feel that this combination of locations will be an effective way to portray our film to the audience and increase the flow of the scenes.
