Locations

Horror films tend to be set in in an isolated area, where out of the ordinary situations rarely happen. The reason they do this is because it sets a lot more tension. The reason for this is because unexpected happenings naturally create a much more scary atmosphere. Another place that is a good location to film is quite tight/claustrophobic place, for example a basement or small village would be an excellent place to film because there are less places to escape for the character/characters.

Another place that would be a good place to film, is the traditional haunted mansion. These places have all different types of rooms and hallways, which makes them, great for unlikely and scary situations to occur. They normally have quite a dark and mystical look to them. And the look and feel of them is normally quite a dead and lonely. They are made of creaky wood to create the atmosphere and sound that the tradition has given to them. Overall they would be a brilliant place to film a horror because of the secluded location and dead feeling that they portray to the audience.

A place to host a horror film that is unexpected and innocent is somewhere like an everyday house that normal people accommodate. It is a good place to film because you can chose the location of where the house is and it will always create an unexpected sequence of events that happen within the household. The house might be in the middle of the country where it is just the people in it that can do anything about the happenings. Or the house could be set in an everyday village/town, where no matter what they do, people wont believe what happens to them in this house.
