when deciphering which location for filming would be most effective, realistic,authentic and best for our movie, we had to undergo risk assessments of any preliminary areas we planned to use.As we commenced our risk assessments some of the abandoned urban and forestry areas involved elements of danger, for example an abandoned residential area in Chertsey, and also in Reigate had tools, glass, and indications that there had been prior fires, as well as also news articles we had read of needles and drug usage taking place in abandoned buildings like the ones we investigated to film in. Because of this we thought it may be easier to cleverly film just the exterior of the house for our movie, and use mise en scene and props to make the interior of a normal house seem abandoned and eerie, or, alternatively we had a preliminary idea to completely change our initial ideas and allow the filming to take place in a warm, homely environment, like my grandmas house which would interlink a personal attachment with the film- which would then allow us to juxtapose our themes of dark horror and the gothic genre with real life environments- hence- increasing the realistic nature and hyper reality of the film...further enforced if we used day to day commercial cameras rather than the latest media and cinematic technology. The google map images of the location crossed out and the location ticked exhibits the two locations in comparison, with the ticked location being a lot more residential, homely and safe very easy to access as it is my nans house who lives nearby. this also means that travelling to this setting for the filming of our trailer will be easy to do, and not act as a barrier for the filming like our location did last year at AS level.
