Location for 'Bottled Up'

For our trailer for 'Bottled Up' we will be using several different locations. One of the locations we will be using for our trailer will be a forest. We will be using a forest for one of our locations as a forest is remote, isolated and usually dark. A forest may be a semantic element of horror films as its conventions fit in with a horror film and this location is used a lot in horror films. As a forest is dark or usually dimly lit, this will help give our trailer a scary atmosphere. We will use a modern looking house to film the sleepover and the film where Eden is told about her fathers death. We will be using a modern looking house as the trailer is set in present times so we will use a house which looks like a typical house that people may own or live in now. We have also used a house as a setting to create a sense of realism to the audience. We will use low key lighting in the house to create an eerie and dramatic effect. Although the house setting will be modern, we will use an old fashioned creepy looking bathroom for the scene of 'normal' Eden changing into 'Evil' Eden. We will also then use flashing lights to create a dramatic and effective scene for our audience. Our last location will be a school. We will use a school to create a sense of realism to our audience. We will also use the school location to show how Eden is a normal teenager who is a student who has to go to school and get on with everyday life despite her troubles. This helps the audience relate with Eden.
