Location

The area where I decided to shoot my trailer was just within my own downstairs hall at my house. The beginning scene was shot at school as my younger actress moves backwards slowly down a corridor. This has the perfect use of lighting when it came to my actress moving back into the darkness, and I felt this gave off quite a eerie image as many other well know horror trailers use corridors as a technique to get the viewer nervous and tense. When it came to later shots within my trailer, I decided to base them within my downstairs hall where I had a hanging light bulb. The wall behind it was also blank and would allow me to create the silhouette of my older actress whilst the light bulb was swinging. For the outside shots I wanted to make sure that I followed the stereotypical expectations of my viewers by shooting my shots in the dark. This would therefore add tension and fear to the atmosphere I wanted to create when my viewer watches my trailer. I used my kitchen that links between both of my garden and downstairs hall to create the dark figured silhouette pictured in one of my shots by switching the light off and using the light from my hall way. In terms of the difficulties that I may face whilst shooting at both my locations, there could be a number of factors that make a difference when it comes to the quality of my shots. As the corridor is a public place for many students I needed to make sure that I used it at a time where no one was around in case of continuous disruptions.
