Location Scouting

 Inspiration

Cabin In the woods is good inspiration because I contains a lot of stereotypes which usual takes place in a horror especially a Slasher. The part I wont to focus on is the start as that is what my setting is like but instead of flat ground it is rocky with a lot of fallen trees.

Props a large cabin in the middle of nowhere. before they arrive at petrol station there is a lot of rubbish out side and everything is very rusty and old. This tells me we could use the props at the location to get an abandoned feeling.

Camera angles is mainly low perspectives as this gives a feeling of isolation and also trapped feeling as if all the trees are blocking you in with the cliffs scaled up high.

The start of the trailer displays what setting I would like in a horror movie as the outside can produce more adaptable conditions if the weather and everything is okay.

1. The long bushes will make an atmospheric scene as you hear diegetic sound of the wind rustling against the bushes. Quick camera shots will make the bushes seem like they are closing in. 

2. This location is very good as all horror films occur in a abandoned area in the middle of nowhere and this is apparent in films like cabin in the woods. And the second image would display the isolation and camping leaves the vulnerable to a slasher.

3. The order of death is usually in chronological order and when they occur it happens deeper and deeper into the unknown as the characters move away from exits.

4. The gore and graphic scenes could technical be displayed on rocks and leaves meaning wounds can be presented easily.

   Would be a nice place to track people running down the track or maybe a point of view.

Rubbish of cigarette packets and a burnt mattress could be used as props to display a junk yard or abandoned area.

Over grown area could be used for a fall or a escape up the rock face or a fall down to the bottom.

A sign of no escape from some areas leaving a person boxed in to defend themselves.

Evaluation 

If I was to do a location again I would find some place with a little more wind protection meaning people could hear the actors over the wind or so that the shot is more stable. Also I would find more stable ground or flatter ground that way we don't spend our time changing the tripods height. 
What went well was I found different locations that are abandoned and burnt meaning props can be used to represent hooliganism and reckless behaviour. Also The cover of the trees means the light does not over expose the camera resulting in poor images.
