The document considers three potential filming locations for an opening horror sequence: West Park, Beeston, and Wollaton Road. West Park was rejected because its entrance gate was not creepy enough and it lacked natural lighting. Beeston was chosen as the ideal location because the natural evening lighting provided a brilliant atmosphere and the graveyard setting was perfect for the planned scene of an antagonist watching a victim. Wollaton Road was also eerie but did not suit the needs of the film.
2. West Park…
• This location was considered because the trees
and the main pathway provide a brilliant scene
for our opening sequence, the camera angles we
plan to use would suit this location well, however,
the entrance gate in which we plan to use in our
establishing shot is not as creepy and ‘horror’ like
as we would hope to include in our coursework,
and there is no natural lighting, such as lamp
posts or lighted buildings so having to use
artificial light when filming, will provide an added
complication.

9. Beeston…
• This is our chosen location, we chose this
because the natural lighting in the evening
provides a brilliant atmosphere for our scene.
We took shots from behind a tree but with a
perfect view of the path because this will be
where our antagonist watches our victim
before killing her. This graveyard provides a
perfect setting for our coursework.

17. Wollaton Road…
• This was a suggested location because of the
eerie atmosphere. It was a perfect location for
a horror genre film but did not suit the needs
for producing ours.
