location choices
We chose to film our trailer in a school, we believed this was a good place to film and plan our trailer since schools often have the connotation of being a safe place for both children and adults. The first area of the school we filmed was in the science lab showing Callum working before getting stabbed by the killer.
The second area we filmed in was the girls toilet this scene showed the female victim in the trailer being killed, this followed the stereotype of women being the weaker gender in horror trailers and always being one of the first to die. We chose the toilet as the scene as it darker and it leads to the audience expecting something to happen.
The third scene we used to film our trailer was the staff room, we used this location to try and show the shock all the teacher would of experienced when the killer had entered the school. We also used this location to get a close up on one of the teacher calling for the police to come and help - this created a more dramatic storyline.
