Horror Film Trailer (Idea and Location)

I am planning on doing a horror film in the style of The Blair Witch Project. On the Blair Witch trailer it says "An entire movie filmed with a hand-cam." This is called "Cinéma vérité" and it is a "style of documentary film making, combining naturalistic techniques with stylized cinematic devices of editing and camerawork." - Wikipedia. This is an increasingly popular style of filming in the genre of horror, as it implies that something bad has happened to the "crew" that were filming the events and the footage was found later on. This is normally displayed at the start of the film - in the trailer for Blair Witch Project the first thing you see is "In October of 1994, three student filmmakers disappeared in the woods near Burkittsville, Maryland while shooting a documentary." This foreshadows to the fact that something bad is going to happen in the film ending in the explanation behind the possible demise or disappearance of the filmmakers. 



The entrance to the bunker.

The location for the filming will be North Weald Redoubt, an abandoned fort/bunker that was used for the storage of weapons and ammunition in WW2. It is rumored to be haunted, and would make a good location for a horror film. According to the Essex Ghost Hunters' website "There are numerous reports of footsteps, commanding officers shouting." They state that "Orbs are also a common around the site." To the left is the entrance of the bunker.

The building is covered in graffiti. Some of the graffiti as displayed to the right depicts symbols of the devil. This benefits my filming as it back ups the idea of the area being haunted. The antagonist of my film will be a female, either a witch or a possessed girl. We will be in a large group and will go down into the bunker, confident that the area isn't haunted and find the girl down there. The trailer will mostly be a build up to finding the girl down there. The group will be unable to escape or leave and they will be killed off one by one. I am going to make efficient use of text in my trailer, to build suspense.
