Location research

Seeing that our production is a trailer our group realised that we would need to use a variety of shots, therefore we believe it is essential that we use multiple locations within our trailer. But we needed to think carefully about what would connote the correct the right tones for our genre of horror. 

Park-In the evening. 

 

Our group decided that it would be an effective location to set part of our trailer within the park around our area as we believe the large field and dimly lit area would create the accuracy of a horror setting, as it presents it self as an extremely unnerving and frightening area. It also makes sense plot wise for our antagonist to be in an area such as this. Due to the fact that children spend their time in parks and our clown is a psychotic clown looking for children to terrorise, it seemed an appropriate location to show some shots. 

Protagonists home. 

 

Our group decided to push boundaries and scare our audience we need to create the image in their heads on whaf if they were in the protagonist position. So a home invasion is a very uncomfortable situation as home is supposed to be somewhere where individuals feel safe whereas that feeling is questioned when we show that the protagonists aren't safe within their own homes. We also decided that one of our houses was the best idea as one of the members of our group,Katy, has large sliding glass windows that we would like to use to make our protagonists appear unsafe. 

Train tracks

 The idea of train tracks again came from the Thought of danger and where an area would be deserted and scary enough for our antagonist to roam around. We not only thought about visuals here,but also sound effect wise, the abrupt noise that the train will make as it harshly enters, will create the type of jump factor that we want to put on to the audience, so that successful tension will be built as we see our antagonist roaming around deserted and dangerous areas.
