Location planning is very important this is because without the right location, the horror film will not seem like a horror film. For example if we set our opening in a playground in the middle of the day it would not have the same effect as having it set in the woods during the hours of day where light begins to fade. Below is the main locations that we will be using while filming our opening.
The picture below shows the main two locations that we will be using. Highlighted in red is Brambleside woods. We are using this location because filming in the middle of the woods allows us to make it seem as if the two characters are in a secluded location, we will do this by making sure that we are not near the road nearby so that the audience can not hear cars, if they could hear the cars it would ruin the illusion that they are in the 'middle of nowhere'. We chose to use the woods because the woodlands is where you would expect a lumberjack to be, also the woods has connotations of being eerie and dangerous during later hours. Many different films use the woods as their set location an example of this is in the opening of 'Dead Mary'.
Highlighted in pink is an abandoned house. This will be the home of The Lumberjack. Below is a more detailed picture of what the house looks like. We think that this building is suitable because it is an old destroyed building which when looked at is instantly perceived as quite creepy. Another reason this building is suitable is because the inside is quite dark and some of the walls have burn marks on which makes the building look even more creepy. An example of where an abandoned building has been used in a horror film is 'The Abandoned' The trailer for 'The Abandoned' is below this picture.
