As one of the main events of the trailer, and whole film in general will be a game of hide and seek, choosing a location to set this game was important to us. Our trailer is going to be set in an ordinary British town - St Neots, where this type of situation would not be commonly expected, making it more discomforting and sinister.
As well as considering general field settings, we decided that a park would be the best place to set this part of the trailer. This is because parks have happy and positive connotations and are considered a safe place for children, therefore when the child disappears audiences will be more shocked and distressed. It will also be a good place to play hide and seek, and opens up opportunities for various shot types and movements. As there are many parks in our area we felt it would be beneficial to visit them all to see how we could use various elements in our filming. We eventually decided to use the park closest to our school (the top picture) for many reasons, such as for convenience, but also because there is a large forest and field surrounding the park which we felt we could use to our advantage during filming.
We will also be filming various scenes around our area to use as establishing shots - as these are commonly used in film trailers. Large fields could be symbolic of the isolation the Mother in our trailer is feeling, and we will also be filming train tracks which are strongly connected with danger.
