Setting Research.

Setting Research.

From looking at other horror films we can see that the usual setting is some deserted unknown location. This a typical convention as it adds to the tension because it makes you think ‘how are they going to get saved?’. For example the location on the right is not established, we can guess where it is but we don’t know for certain. This location is also very dark and gloomy so you cannot really see everything that is going on there. The fact that it is empty automatically takes away all normality and makes the audience think 'what is happening here?'

This can be compared to our choice of location because we wanted the audience to have to guess where our victim is being held. As you can see, our location only shows bars that look like pipes of some sort; this means that our location could be anywhere.

We wanted our actual location to be a deserted warehouse or a dungeon but it seems much easier to create the effect of a warehouse than a dungeon because of limited resources but I think that location of our choice fits in well with our genre as it is a psychological horror and conventional the villain takes the victim away from everyone.
