This is a mood board, demonstrating the types of location that I feel I would like to use for my film.
As I live in a rather quiet countryside community, I thought I would make use of my surroundings and base my horror film in the same sort of area. While most see Cornwall as the quaint, relaxing area it is, my film will show the locations from a different perspective; a horrifying, featureless, isolated land where no one can even hear you scream.
The first image shows Bodmin town. Though the town can be rather busy at times, I plan to shoot mainly in the quieter areas, with much more greenery and rather solitary country paths. Again, to add to the idea of isolation in a horrifying situation, I plan to avoid the more urbanised locations, such as the image shown.
The second image is of the primary church in Bodmin. Despite it’s being by a very busy main road, it is a location I am considering shooting due to its sizeable graveyard which, if caught with the right atmosphere, could work wonders with the horror of my zombie film.
Images three to six demonstrate well the sort of location I am looking for to shoot a lot of my film. The areas are vast, almost silent with dilapidated landmarks that really send a chilling feeling to those who see them. Also, the various jagged rocks in the ground could double up and old gravestones in my film, setting particularly terrifying scenes as my zombies rise from them.
The final image perfectly displays the sort of atmosphere and shots that can be achieved by these quieter setting when caught at the right time. Even if the filming does not go so well in terms of weather occurrences and such, use of editing can create the looks that I desire.

Proficient work on locations.
