Location Shots - From within School



Basement
The basement is a common place for horror films as it is away from everything else and hidden. It is usually the room discovered by the antagonist and where the evil starts to take place, however this doesn't strongly link with our story line so the basement may be used to shoot the flashback scenes to the orphanage or used in our montage. 




The Chapel Stairs
These stairs can be used for a location in our trailer as they are long and curved and also link to the religious side of supernatural horror. There is also lots of windows which create a large light source but if we were to film in the evening it will give the staircase a creepy era and will be good for shots for our montage part in the trailer. 





Chapel/Religious Displays

This can be used for scenes where the mother is praying for safety which will link to the religious theme. It can also be used for scenes with the Priest. 
We also plan on going to an actual church for a better use of mise-en-scene and more iconography (like candles/bible/crucifix/benches etc). 



Late Gate
This part of school maybe useful for the modern orphanage scenes as there is a corridor next to it where we can get the clips of the mother seeing the orphans for the first time during the meeting to discuss adopting.  




Sixth Form Door
This door can be seen as creepy due to the bars across the window. We could use this location to have the mother see the orphans from the window and be confused as it will look like they are locked up.
