Viewing our location (late post!)

On the 7th December, me and my group went to look at St. Giles Church, one of our film locations in Sheldon, Birmingham. Below are some photo's of the location. We chose this location because we felt that it evocked the solemn and sort of mysterious atmosphere that we were looking for. As you can see in these pictures, there are a lot of trees which shut out some of the daytime light which also helps create the atmosphere that is typical of most horror films e.g. a lot of horror movies have scenes that are dark with little lighting which usually creates mood and tension. The graveyard in general seems to be a very lonely area with little outside sound being heard, which symbolises lonliness or neglect, which would be effective for our opening as we are pretending as if the church is a historical sight that is being filmed for a documentary.
