Location, Location, Location

We have finally decided on a location to shoot! We decided we are going to shoot behind the Edwards house in the forest. We think this will be the perfect place to shoot because of the dark and ominous atmosphere that this setting provides. Also, we feel like the trees can really be incorporated into the scene very well with maybe incorporating things like hiding behind trees or having things jump out from behind trees. Also, we have decided on shooting around dusk as well because it gives off a mysterious tone and keeps the scene dark but also provides just a bit of light so we can see things in the scenes. By incorporating these two I feel it will really make the setting feel scary as well as go along with horror tropes. We had a ton of deliberation on where we would shoot because we knew this would be a huge key element of our opening. I brought up that the setting of the opening is most likely a key setting to the entire film and if we were to shoot here that it would have to be the perfect place that also wasn’t too far away from each of our houses and was an easy place for us to bring props and equipment to, and the forest fit that description perfectly.
