Location Planning;

Location
Our location will include more than one location as we thought this would make the beginning more interesting. The locations were around Whittlesey. The pictures are taken to show the location without any props or objects that will be added into the scene if needed. The locations are taken in a dark lighting, thus at night or late evening, this is to create a tense atmosphere. Also we found from our research on horror’s that a dark surrounding creates more suspense for the audience. 
  1. Forest:  This dark surrounding, and shows how this place has aged and is surrounded by uncared for nature. Thus making it seem rough and appealing for the horror. This is form one the nature reserves in whittlesey that seems almost abandoned and never seems to have anyone around there.
  2. Church: This is a dark surrounding and is not very horrific except one part of the church were the stairs are. This is old and will be perfect for following the girl and for the different angles we will use. Also the setting is a bit horrific and gloomy.



Mise en scene; 
Our location also depended on the weather. We wanted the weather to be quite gloomy with a slight breeze. This was becasue the weather would have an effect on the surroundings. Also it would have an effect on the mood of the clip.
The day we decided to film had quite approprate weather and was quite dark in the early afternoon which is when we filmed this clip. We decide on a dark eerie effect. However if it was too dark the camera would not be able to film the clip to a good quality and may not be able to see enough detail in the character.
The weather was important for the outside shots. However when we were in the church there was lights to make the stair-way brighter. These lights were quite minimal and did not give a great light to the character. However the group did not want this scene to be dark and wanted it to be darker and mysterious.
