1. IDEAS FOR LOCATION:
My partner and I wish to film our horror trailer within The Douay Martyrs School building on
both the Cardinal Hume Campus as well as The Arrowsmith Campus for the ‘lift’ scenes and
the scene where the janitors keys get stolen. We have decided to use our school campus,
especially the ‘H’ block where the sixth form is based as part of the buildings looks quite
spooky and dark, especially the entrance of the school office. The main scenes for the trailer
will be inside the school lift on either the ‘T’ floor or the ‘F’ floor. We may choose the ‘F’
floor as it is always very quiet and the corrider where the lift is appears quite abandonnned as
well which would be perfect for shooting our trailer.
We will film the majority of our footage after school when it goes dark to emphasise the
scariness and spookiness of the film and to make it more realistic and effective as well. We
have also chosen to use our school as oppose to a real existing college because there are
many floors in the building from ‘G’ floor to the ‘T’ floor and there are a number of lift doors
as well which are quite standard and small.
