When discussing where we would like our film to be located we had to think of quiet areas out of public eye, this is also useful when filming a horror as we did not want to concern any local people. We decided our local woods would be a good place to start the trailer as it has a more mysterious vibe and is also a very good genre indicator. However we didn't want this to be our only location used so we had an idea of filming in a house because everyone can relate to being at home, therefore helping to build tension and rapport.
For our trailer we plan to film in the Norbury Woods, the reason we chose this destination is because it is well known to the group and much quieter than some local woods. The particular part we decided to film in had lots of overhanging branches so appears much darker and more eerie. This will help top build tension and act as a good genre indicator from the start. This part of the woods is a very good place for filming as it less popular for dog walkers and we didn't want to get in the way of anyone. This also worked in out favour because we did not have to focus as much on extraneous movements e.g. people walking around in the background when something shocking is about to happen.
We also plan to use Hannah's house to film. It conforms to the stereotypes of a horror film because it is a quiet road which suggests its a deserted location and it will make the audience sympathise for the girl who has gone missing. Not only this but when viewers are watching this film at home it will help build tension as they are in a similar location.
