Location research

For our film we only need a handful of locations. these are a church, a hospital, a house and a long wooded path.

Here we will compare the locations that we have chosen with similar locations in existing products. We have created a key frame document to exemplify our chosen locations. Then below are a few examples of similar locations used in existing films. 

Church 

This location is usually shown in horror and thriller films, and is usually set at night and probably with low lying fog which makes the whole place more creepy. The low lit areas also suggest the dark, thriller themed location and suggest a sense of mystery and the gravestones suggest hiding places for the villain within the story. 

Outside (1,2,3,7)

For our film we wanted a church that had the conventions of a thriller film, this means that we wanted a church with not too many wide open areas and we wanted a graveyard with a lot of graves, this will give it more of a thriller look but it will also foreshadow the fact that our protagonist kills her father.

Inside (4,5,6)

The interior of the Church, is grand and open with high lit areas around the large windows. However, we will be able to manipulate the light within the location because there are multiple lights within the church also. 
We want a church that has a lot of light, this is so it will show forgiveness. The wide open areas will also mean that the film will move away from the idea of repression.

Hospital (8)

This location makes you instantly think of bad news, and this is the message that we are trying to get across to the audience when they see the establishing shot.
We needed a hospital that looked like a  traditional hospital.  The hospital is a place of heeling which is the opposite t the church which is also seen by some people as a place of healing.

Wooded Path (9)

This shows a path covered by dead trees. It suggest that the subject that would walk along the path is suppressed and can not escape. Our photograph is similar to this, relating our film with the conventions of a thriller.
This is a location that is also associated with thrillers. The low key lit areas suggest darkness and the connotations that comes with the word "dark."
