Possible Location

We draw a lot of inspiration from films such as 'Paranormal Activity 1 & 2' and 'The Amityville Horror' and all of these are horror films set in a house. We feel like using a house has been used some much and decided against it in favour of filming somewhere original. Harvey Young suggested we use a warehouse or a shed and as a group we all took this into consideration. The strengths of using a warehouse/shed is that it is quite original and has really not been done before. However we would need to look for a rather large warehouse/shed otherwise it would be very cramped if we used a small one. We all discussed the possible of filming in the woods but decided against it because:
  1. It felt very unoriginal and may make our film seem amateurish
  2. Because we are filming in the Winter we haven't got enough time to film in the woods as it will get dark quickly and we won't really be able to bring our own lighting.

As a group we still haven't fully decided on a location however the warehouse idea is looking like the best option right now until we think of something better. Harvey Young suggested we use his Garden/Shed to film and currently we are looking into this. The advantages of this are that because a member of our group owns this piece of land we will be able to film there whenever we want and as long as we need too. Also if needed we could bring our own source of lightning as we are literally right next to Harvey's house. However we still need to take this location into consideration and is may not flow with our story.
