Location and Reconnaissance

Front view Within our group we have chosen this particular setting to feature as our main location which will appear predominantly in our horror trailer. We decided this due to the following reasons;As shown from the pictures the road is deserted and isolated which gives the trailer the horror element as in many horrors they feature isolated locations just like this one in order to allow the audience to relate to the narrative as they may live or know a location like this, emphasising the realism within possession films.

In this particular street, there are only ten houses again portraying the theme of isolation, but will also allow the audience to feel a sense of security as its an enclosed road purely for people who live within the street. Due to the closeness of the houses it is evident that there is a high level of security in this location however this contrasts completely with the narrative.

Front view The house within the image is located at the back end of the street emphasising the fact that if anything out of the norm was to occur within this family household it wouldn’t be noticed as quickly as any other house due to the fact that its one of the last houses in the street. The outside of the house looks like a traditional, pleasant family home which correlates with the narrative of our horror trailer on the grounds that the equilibrium is in place at the beginning but is then later disturbed.

Inside

Within our horror trailer these pictures of the kitchen and the living area will appear as part of the family home. The kitchen will be one of the main background settings when filming as the kitchen is a key setting in which as a group we decided a family orientated area, as majority of the families activities take place within the kitchen area. The living area may also feature in the trailer depending on what is happening in the scene.

Inside The image on the left will be used as an office but also somewhere where the children may play. The use of bright colours within the room give the sense of positivity and security but also gives the house a homely feel, this however displays a clear contrast to the narrative of our trailer/film.

Inside The images above are going to be used as the children’s bedroom, which will be used briefly during the trailer but as shown from the images above, again the colouring of the room is bright and positive with quite girly features within displaying a contrast as the adopted child who joins the family is evil and demonic, all things which would not be associated with girly characteristics.

Outside

OutsideThe images above provide the audience with the knowledge of the location and the fact that the property and the placement of the house is isolated exemplified through the use of overgrown greenery but also the house backs onto a woods giving the idea that the house does not seem so secure anymore. Within the images there are objects such as swings and trampolines which indicates that this house is a family orientated home. These images show the insight of how close the wood is to the black of the which creates a sign of escapism but could also be a clear demonstration of danger in which is to come.
