I have researched many different horror film settings and found that the most common and most effective is a derelict forrest, because of this I think I am going to use this setting for my film as I want my final trailer to look professional. From this research I have also found that the most common time of day to shoot is the night once the sun has gone in. I think this is because people automatically seem to become more scared in darkness. This may be because not as much can be seen, however it may be because this is the conventional setting for a horror film.
The dark lighting will allow me to create silhouettes, this can act as a scary effect if used with my antagonist character as the viewer and protagonists will only be able to see the black outline of the character making her look more scary.
This research has helped me choose my final setting for my film. I am going to film in a forrest at night just as the sun has set because this is conventional for a horror film. Fimling at night will also allow me to use a night vision edit. (as used in paranormal activity for another scary effect - see below)
