PRODUCTION: LOCATION

Zara's House

This house will be one of our locations for our trailer firstly because one the team members live here therefore, it will be very easy to access and film. Secondly, the appearance of the house is very well suited to the character Zara. One of the main features of our trailer is that it contrasts two characters who have a completely different style of living. Because of that, this location will be the much more traditional, higher class home. The surroundings of the home are also very effective and follow the conventions of horror movies. The house is in a rural, quiet area surrounded by forests so therefore it will be effective in playing with the audiences fear. This is something that we found out during our research stage and looking the trailer of "The conjuring" as the setting of the film was based around a secluded, quiet area. As a group we liked that idea and found it to be good at intensifying the audience's fears. Lastly, we also wanted a location that the audience would be familiar to in order to increase how realistic the trailer is.

Holly's House

We have selected to use this house as our second location as one of our team members live here, thus making the filming process easier. This is the home of the modern character Holly, that contrasts the home of the character of Zara, who is more sophisticated. Although it does not follow the typical codes and conventions of horror films, we wanted to add a modern twist to our trailer in order for it to portray the idea that evil can affect everyone in unexpected territories. This location is based in a more urban area, therefore the audience can relate more easily, again intensifying how realistic the trailer is. Because of the mix of both traditional and modern styles, our trailer challenged and reinforces dominant ideology, giving a uniqueness and surprising factor.

Field

Thirdly, we have chosen to use a field as an additional location in our trailer as it is located close to the home of Holly (A). As one of our team members is located close to the area, it will be easier to film as someone knows the location. and can therefore navigate the group. We will have to choose a time where the field will not be too busy to be able to give the desired effect that focuses on the two main characters.

The Library 
Lastly, our last location will be a library. This setting will be a key feature to our trailer as it what reveals to the audience the plot and Zara and Holly begin their adventure battling Jack . As a group we understand that the library can be busy which is why we will be shooting during quieter periods and will make sure of this by consolidating with the librarians. Its  really important that this scene is shot well as it will contribute in making our trailer effective.
