Location

Initial location ideas

Within our group we have researched and discussed several locations that would best fit our horror opening. We have initially decided that we think an interesting place of setting is somewhere that people generally associate with being a safe place, as we wanted to juxtapose fear with the feeling of being in a place of sanctuary.

The four key places that we felt were associated with being safe were a church, a home, a school and a playground. All are places that in everyday life we would feel protected and away from harm, however they are common locations in horror films. For instance the film 'The Devil Inside' a film about demonic possession, and is mostly based in cathedrals, churches and hospitals - all places where people find protection, whether it be from God, or science. In the film 'Tormented' several teenagers are murdered by a bullied, dead student, all within they're school.

These locations would create tension and fear amongst and audience as unexpected places are affected by evil, subsequently making the audience feel a strong amount of unnerve.
