This photograph is of a bridge in a forest. As well as being isolated it is also surrounded by water which could be represented as an element of danger. We chose this location as it is quite open and would enable us to film with lots of space. The lake reminded me of the film "Eden Lake" and the surreal setting of the water and not knowing what is underneath it.
This was another location that we could film our horror movie opening at. Again, it looks deserted and quite creepy with a sense of abandonment. It also looks cold and the mood of the photograph is negative. I think that this location is relevant to the horror genre as it is a traditional out of the way setting with overgrown nature and no one around.
This photograph is of a trail in the woods. We thought that this would be an interesting location as it is quite isolated creating a dark atmosphere and would also provide an excellent trap for predators hiding from their prey, especially in the dark. This is similar to the "Blair Witch Project" setting in my research.
The photograph on the left is one of our possible locations. I found it very interesting as i connected it with the film "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" which the still on the right is from.
This photograph is of a house, another possible location for our horror film opening. We chose a house as it is iconic for the horror genre and is representative of the research i did relating to horror film settings. Again, the house location follows the theme of familiarity making the audience's world more scarier and therefore creating a more effecting horror film.
