We used Tom's house for some of the scenes with the young boy, mother and brother in. This was appropriate because the main characters are a family so obviously they will need to be living in a house and this will need to be shown in the trailer in order for the trailer to be realistic.
We then used Sheldon Country Park for scenes for a chase and death scene, this is very conventional of the horror genre as woods/forests are often associated with it. We re-filmed the scenes we had originally done in the park as we felt the lighting the first time didn't create the feeling we were going for because at the time it was fairly sunny and bright, that is obviously not associated with the horror genre. When we re-filmed it, it was very cold and ground was frosty and because it had previously snow, it was quite dark in the day. The lighting that time round looked much better and as a group we were happy with it.
As well as the park, we also filmed in a location we previously scouted which was a tunnel. The tunnel itself was dark when inside and it was quite long in length so it was great to shoot a chase scene in. Tunnels and isolated areas are very conventional of the horror genre so as a group we feel this was a really effective place to have filmed.
After choosing and agreeing on the locations we were going to film in, we then needed to think about props. Props are an extremely important element in film as these are what tie everything together and make the plot as well as the whole feel of the production realistic. They help to give a production high levels of verisimilitude. After having a discussion with the group, we decided on what was needed and made sure that we could easily get hold of everything ready for filming.
I myself was able to provide some props from the list above, including that of the fake blood. It was fairly simple and the picture below shows how i made it. It looked quite realistic.
