The mist in this picture adds mystery and a scene of unknown e.g. what lies behind the mist. If we use this in our film it would be very important to make sure that the setting is the same (mist) or it will not have the same effect and render this location useless. I feel this location is amazing in the picture but practically un-useable because a, it will be hard to recreate and b, if we need to re-film a scene it would be next to impossible and take up time that could be used perfecting another shot.

This picture is of a derelict ferry that used to transport people to and from the mainland I found on a walk with my family I have mentioned it before in my blog but I feel it gives a good example of what we could look for in a location. The rust that has built up over the years gives the impression of sadness but also what event could of happened on board to cause this ferry to be left to decay in an unknown location and not in a museum as it is a key bit of history for the island. When you look closely you notice the dark blacked out windows making you want to know what it’s like inside and explore the hull of the ferry where so many people have been. The water surrounding the ferry makes it look more isolated than it is in reality adding to the desolate effect. as I have said in a previous post this would be an amazing place to set our film but due to heath and safety there is no way of us getting on to it to film.

These two pitchers carry the same theme as previous ones with the last picture being extremely similar to our second location with it carrying the common theme of isolation and unknowing what is to come. I really like the way the large stone wall gives the impression of false security making the character feel same, once lulled in to a fake sense of security this would be the perfect time for the killer to strike, creating maximum effect for the audience due to the fact they were not expecting this attack.
the first pitchers i really like as it is different from the others i have shown you but also the fact that the light at the end would be the perfect place for the kill to be first seen ether running across the light or coupled with the right music make the audience jump with the sunned appearance of the killer.
in both of these picture the effect and feeling of no escape/to run flows naturally form the pitcher. it would defiantly not be a place i would like to walk thought in the dark.

This is a possible location for the main part of our horror film where the main killing happens. The single light on in the street of houses creates two effects. the first one is that it guides people to it like a "mouth to a flame" and creating the feeling that this house is the only safe place to be on the other hand it can make you wonder why this is the only light on so late creating the feeling that something bad is or about to happen. The houses are nothing special and average this would create the feeling that this could happen to anyone.

the steps in this photo give you the same effect as anyone of the pictures featuring the common theme we really like of the unknown and the uncertainty of what is ahead/what is to come if you follow down this path. the lighting here is really nice, in the sense that it is different from anything i have seen before, i believe it is a street light which means we can always recreate the scene if we have to re-film any part of it. unlike the other locations we have seen this one also gives you the shadows from the railings adding to this horror effect we are trying to create, if we use the shadows to there full potenchal and manipulate some sort of shape it will be amazing at creating the suspence needed for a horror film to be a success.

the first location of the set of two i really like the way the window and the only source of light has been almost eaten up by the over growth, i also like the way it is creates this feeling of unease like something has laid undisturbed in this decaying building for many years holding this dark secret that is just waiting to be disturbed. although i think this is an amazing location is it very unpractical for the time,money and limited resources we have at our disposal for example there is no source of light meaning that we would have a very small window to film in or bring are own light but due to the fact this is a very large area bringing our own light would not be possible compared to if it was a big budget move that would be able to light an area like this with remarkable ease.
