Because I wanted my trailer to be fast and full of many different shots, it is required that I visit many places.
The introduction with the rake was shot outside my house. This is because of easy access and I will not need to ask permission to shoot on my own propety.
Here is the location on google maps.
Another location was the library near the same location. I added this to the trailer early so I could immediately establish it as a horror film, as they are often associated with the genre and bring up thoughts of death or doom.
In the same town I needed a shot of a large secluded mansion, as they again can be associated with the horror genre.
Finally, I wanted to have some shots next to the sea, not only to add variety but to give the imperssion of lonelyness. I decided to shoot at alonby beach, which is not far from where I live.
This is a birds eye view picture from google maps. The circled area is an old dock where we decided to film the fight scene.
Finally, I used a studio to take shots of the masked killer. The mask adds anonimity to the killer, making him mysterious and distant.
Here I used two birdies to light the model. One behind him to highlight his outline, and one in front with a red filter, to signify danger.
