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.
