Location

Picking a good filming location is an important process of making any film, the horror genre in particular. There are several examples of iconic horror movie locations:

Mental Asylums-

Seventy-Nine (2014)

 Asylum (1972)

Creepy Campsites-                                     Friday 13th (1980)

Motels/Hostels 

Psycho (1960)

Hostel (2005)

And perhaps the most conventional horror story setting- a cabin in the woods

Cabin in the Woods (2012)



Truth or Dare (2012)

We have also chosen a cabin to set our film:

This is the exterior for our cabin, and we are using an old attic as the interior:

There is one bright, harsh light source, which creates an eerie lighting effect from the left, leaving the right side in shadowy darkness.

The chimney breast is the centre of the room and this will be where the victim is tied up.
