location shots

We aim to film our trailer mainly in a family house, and various shots also outside and around the house. We feel that the use of a family house creates a sense of comfort and everyone can relate to it. The use of a family home, invaded with horror makes the film more believable for the audience, such as 'paranormal activity', and 'When a stranger calls' making it more memorable and effective. Along with shots of this house, we will film outside and around it, as we aim to film in the night time, it will create a dark scary feel. This builds tension and frightens the audience, relating to our horror genre.  This is a location shot shown in the trailer of 'when a stranger calls'. The house is shown over a lake, with no surrounding houses creating a sense of vulnerability and isolation. 

For the inside of the house we will use a

typical family layout - a welcoming, and comfortable setting, to make the scary twist even more shocking, and frightening for the audience. for example paranormal activity is based in a house like this. It shows the house being very comforting and family orientated i.e not tidy, like any household with young children. It also shows the house in night vision, which shows the house in an isolated, empty way; a sign of danger. We feel using a family home makes the film more believable as most people can relate to the typical scenery, and therefore relates to the audience. We will hopefully be filming in Lianas house, which is a very family orientated household so we feel this would be an appropriate location for our trailer. Below are our chosen location shots of the inside of the of the home.
