Planning: Setting and Location for our trailer

 For our trailer we chose an isolated looking cottage, based in the countryside as the setting. To match typical conventions of a horror genre trailer we tried to make sure we chose an eerie and mysterious location. The deserted looking fields help create the horrifying feel. The typically abandoned house insinuates to the audience that bad things will start happening, in our trailer the house belongs to a girl which was sent to a mental asylum for committing a horrific crime.

The swing links with children, and children are commonly used within horror genre trailers. This swing therefore suggests to the audience that our trailer is going to consist of a young child.

- These are the fields that surrounds the house creating the feel of isolation, making our location conventional to our chosen genre.

- The use of using an old looking cottage gives the horror effect more suspense as it could create the audience to feel as if the house is haunted and links within the story of 'Martha' within our trailer.

The way in which the road leads to the house shows that there are no other houses surrounding it. This will alert the audience and make them question what is going to happen. The audience can expect something bad to happen as it is typically isolated and no one is around to help if needed.
This is a typical convention of a horror genre trailer and will help it become successful in the filming industry as it will populate a fanbase as it is intriguing.
