SETTINGS

The settings chose for our title sequence and opening scene were simple but effective. For the news report we chose a room with a plain background so the news report will show our two reporters in a background that doesn't have anything going on so the viewers focus on what's being said so they get an idea on what the film is about straight away. Also the setting for the axe we decided to get a confined space with a field and trees surrounding just to get a sense of a horror stereotypical scene. For the tool box and mini axe being place in a car boot we used a car park that was near by the pick axe shots so the trees were nearby for the same reason as the pick axe shots. My research on settings was focused on 'The Blair Witch Project', as this is mainly set in a forest with trees around and is isolated. Where the main actor was digging the ground with a pick axe, it was an isolated area with trees and bushes surrounding him to create the feeling of isolation which would also be recognised by the audience as similar to another well-known horror film.
