Location for our Film Haunted
The location for our film is based in an old Georgian House,
situated in Slimbridge Gloucester, which is currently going under a
lot of restoration to be able to restore and all its features. We
have chosen this location for our film, because we think it is the
perfect setting to film in and fits in with the themes and
conventions conveying the genre of our film action/thriller. The
photo below is a long shot of the back of the house in the garden.
This is where the opening scene for our film takes place, picturing
them in an up close shot when breaking into the house.
The medium shot below is of the side of the garden situated to
the right of the house. This is the area in the opening scene to
where the two teenagers are first shot. We think this is very
stereotypical (for a break in) due to the fact the two teenagers
are wanting to sneak into the house, so the big general stereotype
would be for no other way for the teenagers to sneak in through a
window (not the front door).
In this medium shot we have pictured one of the hallways
featured in the 3rd scene. Me and rose both wanted to included many
shots of the hallways, as we feel as if it conveyed a feeling of
claustrophobia and entrapment, which usually conveys the actors
feeling of them only being able to go one of two ways; down or
forward along corridor, if they have no escape if danger occurs in
front of them, only to turn back to get away from anything that
could be chasing them.
The darkness that the corridor also brings portrays a feeling of
danger, we usually connote this as being scary and risky to be
within as we can not see anything it also instantly makes us think
that there might be something hidden within the darkness also to
what we normally would be able to see for if it was in broad
daylight.
This medium shot pictured, is featured in scene 3 of our film
haunted. We have used this shot because we both think that it
conveys the age of the house from the spiraling stairs. It also ups
the anticipation of the audience, as we cant actually see what is
around the corner of the stairs hiding away from us.
