Location


Location

For my trailer I will be using two locations, both of which are in and around Cairns, Australia.
The location in which I had done most of my filming is a small creek on the outskirts of Cairns and Redlynch in Australia, this was the perfect place to do my filming because of the surroundings.
The creek is shelter by the outskirts of a rain-forest canopy, this works excellently in terms of lighting when I can capture the dusky sunlight through the leaves as the sun sets, as well as this the background sound will work well in my trailer as the rain-forest setting makes for some great wildlife sound such as lorikeets, crickets and the sound of geckos commonly heard in the evening in the rain-forest  These sound combine this the sound of the running creek will make for some unusual tropical background sounds.
I chose this particular area because just outside is a small tunnel running underneath a main road, as it got dark I thought that this would be a good place to film some creepy and secluded shots of the actors running through the tunnel.
The second location that I sued for my filming was in the Cairns suburbs, I chose to film round the back of a house in a place called Trundle Terrance, it was perfect for my filming as it is right on the edge of the rain-forest canopy so therefore blends the perfect amount of urban and natural setting. I chose to film the back of the house because I wanted to show variety in my trailer and to show a progression in the story line as the actors try to “escape”. I filmed in this location in darkness, there was a single street light next to the house which acted as a spot light for my actors and added an extra eerie element to this section of the trailer.

I am aiming for my creek location to look something like the images below:
