Location Pictures for Film

This shot is of a pair of gates that are positioned at the entrance of the house we are going to use for our film. They are extremely old, and are adorned with large metal bolts and hooks which make the gates seem scary and imposing. They look like they would fit in with the horror genre, and would perhaps be suitable to use in our own opening in an establishing shot to set the tone of the film. 

This shot is a close up showing the bolts and locks seen on the gates, and I showed the potential use of the key hole by placing a person behind it looking in. We may not include the eye, but this shot clearly highlights the gothic details on the gates. 

I took this shot whilst standing at the top of a staircase, looking down at the floor below. At the bottom of the stairs is a figure standing at the entrance of the next room, with the light from that room outlining their silhouette. The carpet is red, which links with death or blood, which fits with the theme of horror. We may decide to use a similar shot in our own film, as it fits in with our storyline. 

This is a shot of the hatch which leads into the cellar, which one of the characters climbs up into. She will be standing on the steps, with her upper body in the room above. She will shine her torch around before being dragged up into the room by a mysterious entity. Whilst dark, the stairs look very scary, as the white paint gives off a luminous glow. This scene will hopefully seem very closed-in and claustrophobic, which is why I feel that it will look very effective in our end product, as it clearly links with the conventions of horror and thriller. 

This is an alternate view of the shot above; with the camera looking down towards the cellar rather than upwards towards the hatch. This shot shows the entrance at the bottom of the stairs, which is where our victim will begin her ascension.
