For our trailer we have chosen our location in a Forest.
Reason being, in a setting such as this, it is a lot easier to convey horror conventions (e.g Isolation, fear etc.) and is a common stereotypical setting among horror films.
We have chosen Branksome Woods as our primary area to film in. It's easy to gain access to, and there are a lot of potential filming locations to choose from within it.
Iconography is there as well, with large trees and bushes, as well as dark surroundings and odd peices of man made structues (an example being the stone arch that is featured in our trailer)
Many horror films in recent years have utilized the setting of a forest, great examples being:
- The Blair Witch Project
- Cabin Fever
- Shrooms
