The filmmakers decided to set their horror film in a local war bunker because it provided unique opportunities for trapping characters and generating story ideas. They visited the bunker to assess safety issues like the height of the ladder, damp conditions that could cause slipping, and cold temperatures. Their next steps are to further develop the bunker-based storyline and obtain permission from the bunker's owners to film on certain dates.

2. • After looking into typical settings used in horror
films, we knew we wanted to find something in an
isolated location. Inspired by our own
claustrophobia, we also wanted to find somewhere
that was small and crammed, or somewhere where
the characters could be trapped.
• Our two ideas were a plot revolving around being
trapped in a local church one night or a series of
killings in a local war bunker.
4. • We finally decided to use the bunker because
we felt we had more ideas regarding this
storyline and it was such a unique place
locally.
• It was also easier for both of us to access and
get permission to film inside.
5. • After visiting the bunker, we looked at how safe it
was to use.
• The ladder down to the bunker was fairly high at
25ft, so we will prepare our actors for this.
• The ladder was safe to use, but quite damp
putting people at the risk of slipping- we could
supply gloves for the climb down to prevent this.
• We will have to advise the actors to wear suitable
clothing as it is fairly cold, and footwear, again for
the climb down.
6. • Our next steps will be planning the storyline
around the bunker in depth and getting
permission to film in the bunker from the
family who own it.
• We plan to do this through e-mail or by phone
call.
• We will have to make sure that the dates we
plan to film on suit them.
