Location
Location plays an important part in setting the mood and pace of a horror film. Thats why its so important to make sure you get the right scene and fits well with the storyline. Our group chose to have the location as an abandoned forrest, this sets the scene to the viewer building up suspense.
Examples of films that are set in forests that well known are Friday the 13th and Cabin in the woods. We used these films as inspiration and pick various aspects from both to use in ours in order to make it successful.
Another factor that made our group want to film the OTS in the woods was the fact many cars and the area was let go and not maintained it gave the impression of apocalyptic setting with little need to change the area. With the use of proper editing we created a scene that looks as if its filmed at night with a low mist which gives it an airy aura.
