Planning - Locations

Our production will require a number of different settings in order to make the trailer appear both professional and feasible. Trailer's produced by leading companies, as shown earlier in my blog provide the viewer with an insight to both the plot, but also the setting. The diversity in the setting is key, and the number of setting's is also a vital contributory factor in the overall appeal of the trailer.

For our trailer, we will be using the following locations:

Garage - A Dark area, it provides us with a number of options for specific shots, such as the opening of the garage door to reveal a body/murder taking place.

House/Living Area - The ambient lighting, digetic sounds such as television/radio noise, provide us with a location that can be used to display the equilibrium state that we will attempt to make apparent throughout the trailer. This location would conform to the 'White Picket Fence' stereotype of Hollywood horror.

Street - Street lights provide an urban environment that most cinema 'go-ers' can identify with, as familiarity for a viewer will make the film more hard-hitting.

Field - This wide open landscape provides us with an area in which an endless number of shots available. Preliminary ideas for the final scene involve the antagonist burying body parts of his victims, and this would be an ideal area to film this scene.
