Settings

The setting for any film or trailer is definitely one of the most important aspects in creating mood and atmosphere. This is why it is particularly important that when choosing where we want our trailer to be set, we take into consideration certain aspects, such as:
- How the setting contributes to the mood and atmosphere
- Whether the setting acts as an indicator towards the genre
- Whether the setting is easily accessible and will not disturb other people

Initially we were sceptical of where we wanted our trailer to be set and possible places consisted off;
- woods
-house
-graveyard
-church
-hotel
-island
After researching more into our genre and deciding on the plot for our trailer we decided that the two suitable settings we are going to use are woods and a house.

We first began by looking at possible houses to film are trailer, we decided that we would only use either mine, beth's or charlotte's house, as it will be easily accessible for us.
House Number One:

This is our first possible house, it has a Victorian style and has a sort of homely feel too it. This could be misleading to the audience and create a falso sense of security, making them believe that nothing could go wrong at this house. This could be percieved in two ways, for example this could be a positive thing because it adds an element of surprise to the trailer, or this could be a bad thing because it is'nt a conventional thriller house.

House number two:

This is our second possible setting for the house in our trailer. This house has sa certain look to it which is often associated with horror/thriller movies therefore making it ideal for our trailer. The house is also detached from other houses which means that we would be able to film our trailer without disturbing the neighbours and also give the house an isolated effect.

Woods number one:

This is our first potential setting for our woods. This particular woods has a very creepy and erie atmosphere too it which is ideal for our trailer. However there is a downside to this particular setting because it is very open and isolated which means that it could be hard to film the scene through the woods, because it is very open plan.
