The document discusses three possible locations to film a horror trailer for the film "No Vacancy". The first location is Elise's grandfather's house in Wormley, which has an old abandoned cellar from the early 1900s that would be perfect for filming scenes and basing the film's content around. The second location considered was the Marriott hotel in Cheshunt, but it was decided that a bed and breakfast would give a more intimate feel. The third location considered was the group's school, but it would be difficult to transform it into an abandoned bed and breakfast and they likely couldn't film at night when the school would be empty.

Location Scouting ‘No Vacancy’ Film Trailer
Possible Location 1 Our first possible location is Elise’s Granddads house. Our reasons for this location is that it is in Wormley, which isn't too far for all of our group to get too as well as it being a family house that we can easily get access too. It has a old abandoned cellar from the early 1900s that we thought would be perfect to film in, and base our film content around.
The house is an old Victorian house that we feel, with the right lighting and editing, could have a scary and eerie feel. The house has a pleasant look to it during the daytime which could be misleading to the main characters and the audience. We think that the old fashioned features of the house, such as the naturally creaky floorboards, the abandoned cellar and the heavy wooden front door will all make for a better film trailer which adheres to the horror conventions
We choose this location as the cemetery connotes death and darkness. This is typical of the horror genre, and as there is a house opposite, it suits our film narrative of a creepy, abandoned B&B hotel. A scene will be taking place within our trailer of the characters exploring the surrounding area of the B&B, to discover there is a church and cemetery. We will be filming at night to make the audience on edge as they will not see the bright, sunny, and known area shown above.
The house we are going to be using as our B&B as it is an old looking building that is opposite the cemetery. A birds eye view of the cemetery, in relation to the house that we will be using.
Possible Location 2 Our second possible location is the Marriott hotel in Cheshunt. Our reasons for this location is that it is near by and with permission we could film here. If we were to use this location, it would give a more of a ‘The shining’ feel to it. However, we decided against this as we thought a B&B gives it a more intimate, personal feel which is a lot scarier for the audience.
Possible Location 2 We decided against using the Marriott hotel for our location as we felt that it is too urban and modern. It is directly next to the A10 dual carriageway and therefore the noise pollution will affect our filming and the atmosphere. It would also be hard to manipulate the set design to our needs and the desired effect that we are looking for.
Possible Location 3 We decided against using our school for filming our horror trailer, although we would have permission, it would be free and we could film during school hours when all members of our group are available, we found that it would be a lot of work to try and make the set look as if it was an abandoned B&B and also it does not have a horror feel to it. We also might not be able to film at night as all teachers would have gone home and the school would be locked.
