PLANNING: LOCATIONS

My Media Production is supposed to be of a horror/mystery genre, and for this to be effective I need to have locations which will have connotations with this kind of dark and grungy theme. The recurring common theme for these locations is that they are derelict / run down. This is mainly because it adds to the darkened and haunted feeling that is so crucial in horror films to build suspense and develop the idea that there is something lurking in the shadows. The locations have darkened, and destroyed areas to them, which we can utilise to give the effect that there is an unknown creature following the characters as the trailer progresses. There is also a height aspect we can utilise to show that the characters are in danger. 

The derelict factor to these location, also allows us to express our creativity with camera angles, using debris found on site to make it seem as though there was someone watching the characters.
