Beginning to think of ideas

+Because time is going quickly i thought it was time to begin to think of ideas such as locations and themes.

Location:

- Church, this would be a typically scary setting because it relates to funerals and perhaps spirits and typical things like that, they are old buildings and are often very creepy at night.

- Cemetery, this is also an obvious setting for something scary because of the atmosphere and gravestones representing death, they are scary in the daytime as well as the night time and often they are used in films or television programmes and they represent and hint that bad things are going to happen.

- Lake/Lock/River, at night these places are extremely isolated, rivers and locks can often be places where horrible things happen. Bodies are often found at the bottom of such places and there is a definite sense of danger around these sort of places, especially in winter months.

- Forest/Woods, Obviously these places are extremely creepy because when you are in a woods anything could be hiding in, over, around or underneath you and they are quite untouched places. Harry Potter is a good example of a scary forest setting and when it is dark you definitely need a torch to see where you are going.

- Shops, these aren't typically scary or thrilling but if a good storyline was put along side it, then that would make it more interesting because people would be less likely knowing what to expect and it would be an original idea.

- House, when people are home alone often people get scared easily. The feeling of vulnerability in your own home is actually extremely common, but yet again it is quite different to the typical scary setting - it doesn't give anything away. 

- Train Station, trains are fast moving and always active and a lot of the time they are used in films when people are escaping or doing anything to do with thrilling action. It would be a good place to film something scary too because it is less typical, apart from when people find trains an easy way to commit suicide... it isn't typically a place for bad things to happen.
