Research - Location

As a group, we have been discussing our different ideas for a location for our shoot. We have contacted 2 churches, however we haven't heard back from either of them. Therefore we have started to research other possibilities for a location. It is very important that our chosen location creates the right atmosphere and creates tension within our thriller. We want the location to mirror the action in the scene and create a creepy and tense atmosphere.

 

There are some requirements that the location needs to posses including being in close proximity to our school, have stained glass windows, candles and pews for the victim to sit on, it is also essential that the location create a mysterious and tense atmosphere and is within the gothic style.

Our backup plan would be to use a similar location that creates the same atmosphere such as an empty room that is very dark and cold looking. If there are no options of borrowing a church then we will have to use a dark shed, the basement to the school or possibly a room that fits within the requirement of having large windows and benches. 

However, another option would be using the studio at school and create an artificial setting, but this would require a lot of planning and discussion as we would have to  complete a set design in a very short amount of time.
