PLANNING : Location Recce

We wanted a location that worked best with the genre of our film, this meant that we needed to study the tropes of the genre we were going for and find a location that reflects the genre as a whole. This lead us to find several building that were suitable to be used for our film. pictures of them can be seen below.

PLANNING : Background Research Into Similar Films

One of my teams primary inspirations to create a thriller/horror trailer cam from a YT video uploaded by Even Royalty, called SCP : overlord.  The darker tone, in which it causes the viewer to tense up due to the intensity and the uncertainty is something that I would very much like to achieve in my trailer. 

Our team agreed that we liked the look of this trailer and desired to create a trailer inspired by this. using tropes from the same genre and attempt to create a similar feel. we would use a dark colour grading to achieve the dark, gritty tone we are going for as it works effectively in the trailer. this will give us guidance for our trailer to make ours work as best as possible.

SCP: dollhouse is our initial inspiration from. it has a Horror, Military and Thriller genre, which we are looking for, it leans on similar tropes that we are looking for, including rising tension through music, as well as never fully showing the monster, only teasing it.
