More research in to Location and setting(Concepts)

After decussing our concepts we split the research in to sections. we spilt it so that we all could do more research in to the concept. I was assign to look in to location and setting with more depth.

Location
Horror can be set anyplace and in any time or reality. Although the classic horror setting is in some sort of remote and isolated area (a haunted house, a remote village, forrest)

Haunted house
Haunted house location a very common in horror film. This type of location will create tension, keeping the audience on their toes. The setting in this will have to be dark and set during the night to give it a much more scary feel to the film. The films that have influence me are:

Saw

Case 39

Forest
The forest is another great location for a horror film. many horror film use the forest when coming bad happens, blowing of the leafs create the sense of enigma. The forest changes the atmosphere of the horror and is normally set at night.

School
A school is also a very common location that is used when make a horror film. this location create a sense of realism. Costumes also contribute this realism. This type of location can attract different age but mainly ages between 16-25.

All of the location that I research convay the key element in horror. The location that we all agreed apon will be the forest location, we wanted to use this location because it is used in many films and believe this will attract our audience.  Because the location is common we want the audience to immediately understand what type of genre the trailer is.
