My Film - Location Scout

The location I want to use in my film opening is one that is commonly associated with the horror movie genre...

A Cemetery!

Having walked my dog through the local cemetery many times, I now know it well, and I'm writing the screenplay specifically with it in mind. The Cemetery is perfect because there's no better way to create the verisimilitude of a graveyard, than by actually filming in a graveyard!
Also, its quietness, easy accessibility, and beautifully eerie scenery will provide a perfect and convenient location for my project.

The first thing I did to prepare for my film project was a location scout of Ilkley Cemetery.





These are only a few of the dozens of photos I took, but they gave me the confirmation I needed that the cemetery was the perfect location for my project.

For the scenes set inside the girl's house, I decided that I would simply use my own bedroom and bathroom. Being a teenage girl myself, my room is already conveniently set up and displays the appropriate anchors for the protagonist being a teenage girl, building verisimilitude.
