Creating | Settings

When thinking about where we wanted our opening scene to be set we wanted the setting to be quite mysterious and we wanted to chose quite a stereotypical horror movie setting. We thought about setting it in a field, but we voted against it as we felt it would be hard to find an empty field to film in and also we didn't think it would suit our plot for the movie. 

We finally decided on setting our opening scene in an alleyway. We chose an alleyway as it's quite stereotypical and also it was a convienent setting that we could easily find near where we all live. When creating the storyboard we didn't really know how to draw our alleyway as we didn't actually know what alleyway we were going to film in. On the day of filming we decided to meet at someone's house and walk around to find some alleyways. We were successful in finding alleyway, but we just didn't know which one to film in. We all decided to filming in the alleyway in our opening scene because it was quiet and also it set out scene very well. 

Our setting helps set the scene well as it is easily identified as a small compact alleyway. It also helps tie in with the stereotypical dangerous alleyway as again it is compact which means that the murderer can either stab someone easily and capture someone.
