Location Photos - Research and Planning

Our first location to shoot footage would be the National Trust Park of Polesden Lacey. This place makes a great horror film location because there is an unlimited amout of space. They would be in the middle of no where which stops the characters from running for help and the grand, old house can be the base and centre of the horror story, to which first attracted the teenagers to stay overnight in the first place.
From a filming perspective, the grounds of Polsden offer a lot of visual oppertunity because around the grounds there are several different areas that we could incorporate into our teaser trailer and because of the space being unlimited - the only thing we would have to watch would be framing, making sure we don't get any other people or unwanted things that would ruin the effect of the teaser trailer.

 
This is the house which we could incorporate into the trailer. However, we will not be able to film inside it so the shots of the house will used as establishing shots. It is the centre of the story but not the film synopsis, which claims the grounds are haunted rather than the usual horror conventions of the house being the source.
