Images of setting

Possible Location 1: The Woods



This image shows an empty, yet peaceful setting. The surrounding trees and the ivy gone mad give a maze affect, as if there is nowhere to run. Everywhere the victim runs will just lead herself further into the woods and thus further into trouble. This shaded setting will compensate for the fact that we will not be filming the footage in the dark - the trees will block most of the light out.



The above image shows an old flight of steps and the scenery to where our two minute horror opening will end. This image we have concluded that the steps leading to the top will allow the victim to feel that she is running to safety. However, little does she know that in fact it leads to a dead end as the gate at the top will be made out to be locked. The moss on the steps and the trees growing wildly additionally portrays a cold emotionless atmosphere, it shows the steps have not been taken care of nor the surrounding nature. This all mounts up to a perfect scenery for the murder to take place.


Possible Location 2: A Suburban Home




Here is a very popular location used in horror films.
Due to the home being classed as somewhere "safe" horror films play upon this sense of security by scaring the unwary victims into thinking not even their own homes are safe, this also affects the audience as the majority of films are watched at home. Horror films set in a home, although a less probable place to be attacked, create a more believable setting for the victim to be in.
