Location Change

For the location of our trailer, we had many ideas where to film it. Our first idea was to locate our scenes on a farm, mainly exterior shots. Our first initial choice of setting Balls Wood park in Maghull and Down Holland Hall farm. As our film is in the horror genre,to make things seem much like a horror trailer as we could we thought that we needed dark scene and thought that filming outside would be perfect. Whilst filming we came across some problems, the main problem was that it was too dark to film and we wasted alot of our time and effort trying to make this work so we all had to think things through. After looking at our footage we realised that we would be best doing mostly interior shots as we could adjust lighting properly inside and all of our shots would work much better. 

Our new location is one of my team mate home where she lives and has kindly allowed us to use her house whilst filming our trailer. We could see a massive difference in the shots when looking at them from before and to now. Overall I think it was a great solution to film inside as we did not have all the correct lighting equipment when filming outdoors and found it too difficult. 

























Above shows our old location at balls wood park, as you can see, even in day light not much light is let in and alot of darkness is caused due to the vast trees. If it was around summer time where the sky is at its brightest and for longer this would be alot more realistic to film in, we do not have the good enough lighting for our filming so it is not possible to complete our filming of exterior shots, due to this we have had to change our location and our story.

The image to the left of this text is our new location, our team colleague has kindly offered to let us use her house for filming as we never had many other options, this is the type of house we were looking for, just an ordinary looking house, i feel this gives it a creepier effect as anything can happen, even in n ordinary house like the one we have filmed in.
