Location Research:


Lancaster Gate Station:

This is an image of the inside of Lancaster gate station, it is very popular so it would be an ideal location for our group to film in because we would have many extras, and it would come across to the viewer as very realistic and not fake. This location would be effective to our genre because many horror films have central locations where people are in a rush, so they don't know if they are being watched or not and also a tube station when your on your own can sometimes be quite scary because you don't know who's around and its hard to know of you're being followed because there are so many carriages.

The woods of Nonsuch Park:

This is an image of the woods at Nonsuch Park which is very local. The woods here as you can see can be very deserted at some points of the day so if you were here alone you would feel very vulnerable.
The woods would be a great walk for a couple because they would be alone and they could have some time to talk to each other. However the woods are quite big so it would be easy to get lost and relating it back to our genre of horror, films of that genre sometimes use deserted locations which are big because the audience believe the characters are vulnerable and there's no-one around to help and its easy to get lost. 

Old children's home in Skyfall:

The old children's home used in James Bond Skyfall would be an ideal location for a horror film because it had many conventions of the horror genre for example it was old, remote and had history. What I mean by it had history is it had all the happy moments still in from the children who use to live their, there is usually a place like this in horror films where something is set for example an abandoned mansion which had a lot of history to it so it had a lot of memories which gets the audience thinking and feeling on edge.
