Setting - Location - Mise-en-ecene



These images show the location where I chose to film my trailer. I chose this location as conventionally horror films are set in a very dark and derelict place and I feel this was perfect. The trees and grass land allow it to look like no one is around for miles helping to show that the characters are alone with no chance of help. The branches and trees could also show that there is no clear way out from where they are, again reinforcing that they can’t get out easily. A forest was one of the top locations for a horror film to be set in my research; however the most conventional was an old house. I chose challenge this convention and use a forest setting as I felt there was more freedom in terms of different types of shots that I could use here and I wanted my overall trailer to be unique and stand out from any other competing horror film trailers they may be.
