Setting for ' The third from last '

The venue and setting of our film is going to be Tommy Clark's house, there are many reasons behind this. Firstly the house has a brick walled room in it so it allows us to use the advantage of having a brick walled room's darkness to help the film fit the horror genre. The darkness of this room is key because we want to use a dark room to enhance the feel of suspense and tension, Tommy's room has a twist switch light so we can adjust the levels of light in the room. We wouldn't want to use a modern room as we feel it would make the film seem too modern and then unrealistic and not scary. Another reason we used this house is because the road that Tommy's house is down is very dark. This aids us also because it creates an uncomfortable opening to our film opening as you don't know what's going to happen down that road, something could jump out at any time but at the same time it might not. We were going to use an old mental asylum for our venue but we decided that the permission to film there would probably cost us and also we would have a lot more risk's to bare in mind rather than if we simply filmed at someone's house. Brentwood county high school was also an option but we feel that it wouldn't really fit the horror genre as the scenery wasn't good enough and the lighting wouldn't of fitted the horror genre either as it is too bright. We had the option of filming in the school in darkness but again there would have to be permission for us to do so and a lot of health and safety hazards to take into account. Tommy has a good camera that we can use at his house and also he has a lot of horror masks, this aids our film because we needed mask's for our opening scene so using Tommy's house gives us a range of mask's to choose from.
