Film locations
Standish HospitalOur first location to film was was intended to be Standish Hospital. We believed it would be the perfect sight as it was quite old and had a spooky vibe to it. As you can see, the trees, bushes and overgrown shrubbery make the perfect 'abandoned building'. This would also make the OTS more believable as it mimics our intentions. However, we ran into a few troubles considering actually filming at or around the sight. One of our group did a recce to the area and due to unforeseen circumstances we could not film. Never the less it would have made a perfect first film location to implement into out product and will serve as an example, allowing us to better plan our next location.

Churchdown school
|
We decided to use Churchdown School as our shooting location. We chose our school because it was an easy place to shoot at and schools have horror connotations and links already. Schools are institutions that are seen as safe and secure, and we twisted this to have a location that is more of a prison, where our protagonist is trapped.
Also, the school had all of the necessary requirements for us to film, such as small dark, locations; high areas; lighting; the green screen and large, empty areas. This helped because it meant we could get creative and interesting shots that looked good on screen and made our OTS more original. |
