All horror films have a certain setting which makes the film more tense and frightening, usually these settings are dark abandoned places. Generally they are set in deserted large house etc. As we are doing a teen horror we have researched the typical settings for this genre.
We found out that mostly all teen horrors start in college or a school which makes the film seem very ordinary at the beginning and makes it seem like it is a typical teen film. We hope to use this in our opening sequence and use our college as the main setting.
Also we found out that a lot of teen horror films are set in the characters house or at their friends house. The atmosphere in these houses are usually dull and dismal. We hope to use this idea and film one shot at the stalkers house. We will try to use low key lighting to create a tense atmosphere which will be a code to the audience.
Sometimes teen horror films can be set in ordinary going out places e.g shopping malls, cinema and just out on the streets. These places are where teenagers usually hang out which adds to the realism of the film.
