Research- Locations

When discussing where we would choose to film our trailer I suggested that Hampstead Heath would we a good location. It gives us access to film in a huge area where you won't find a lot of people around in the winter months. I also thought that the ponds on the heath would be a good place to film especially in the early morning as the lighting would make the ponds look less "everyday" and familiar. This idea also helped us develop our story as we decided to base it around the ponds.

We went out as a group onto Hampstead Heath to take photos of different areas on the Heath that we thought would be good to film. This helped us develop our story further and gave us a wide variety of ideas to choose from and helped us select the most effective places to film.

These photos where taken in the afternoon and therefore didn't have our needed effect. However when we film in the early morning the different lighting and the mist will make it look a lot more isolated and ghostly.

The following photos are a few of the places we found on Hampstead Heath that we thought might be good for our trailer.
The worn down bench covered in the autumn leaves had a haunted look to it.

We found an old bridge surrounded by overgrown trees and plants, it looked uncared for and therefor would have the effect of looking like the area had been deserted for years.

 This frozen over pond was exactly the kind of thing we were looking for to be in our trailer, it looks isolated and scary.

This is a picture of the bridge again from a different angle, showing more of the overgrown plants giving it that haunted effect.

Welcome To My teaser trailer blog

Welcome to my blog. My name is Maggie Walker and I am in a group with Narimane O'neil, Jodie McIntyre and Jean-Luc Chisugi and we are working together to create a teaser trailer for a horror/thriller film along with a poster and website.

The purpose of my blog is to keep it  updated with the progress I am making to completing my blog. I will post any new ideas I have come up with and I will include all the research done which has been essential in helping plan the trailer.
