This document provides suggestions for filming locations that have an old, abandoned, or run-down aesthetic. Some potential locations mentioned include old Victorian houses, warehouses, churches with similar architectural features, derelict buildings from closed mental asylums or hospitals, old libraries with their corridors and windows, alleyways and un-used sheds that have overgrown plants, and museums that recreate historical indoor settings. The goal is to find locations that look discarded, unloved, and capture an atmosphere of the past.

2. This is going to be a establishing shot
this could be taken at any old
fashioned house or a old care home.
This could also be a warehouse which
we found nearby where we live. The
building needs to be that of a old
Victorian building with a detailed
exterior. The weather makes a
difference here because I think filming
on a grey dull day would make more of
an impact.
This is another example of a building that
we could use that is not old but it does
have a old constructive look to it. This is a
current building but could easily be used
as a insert in our trailer. Other buildings
that could be used is a church as they have
the same Victorian décor like spires and
towers.

3. These are location shots this is from a
derelict building of a mental asylum
although these are hard to find a modern
one could be used. A hospital that is
currently in use could also be a good
place to film as it has a lot of corridors.
Old libraries have the same effect with
the old fashioned windows and corridors
with its abandoned presence and
atmosphere.
Any abandoned places would be a good
location to film in even alley ways where
fly tipping takes place – this is because it
looks discarded and unloved. Alley ways
are also a good place to film at night
because it is dark and not many people
use them. Un used sheds are also a
effective especially one that the outside
plants and bushes grows inside.

4. Another good idea for places to film is in
museums that set up sets and rooms that
are old from years ago. The transport
museum is also a good place to go because
it has dark tunnels and has sets that are
made up like pubs and fake models dressed
as old fashioned people. Filming from the
transport museum could be used as inserts.
The black country living museum is also a
good place to get footage for it has the
models dressed up in Victorian clothing and
his the old buildings.

5. This is the short of location we
would like to film in – it is un
loved and is abused.
This location doesn’t look abused but
looks messy and dirty there are old
abandoned houses that would look
like these.
