Deconstruction of locations - Georgia Serrecchia

Deconstruction of locations:

In horror films, especially supernatural films, they are normally taken place in a large house that's usually in the middle of no where. This house is normally surrounded by woods and the house usually belongs to a spirit or a demon.

The main part of the film is normally taken place in the house, however parts of the film are filmed in the forest/woods when a character is getting chased or there is a spirit/demon following her.
These are usually the main locations in supernatural horror films, however there is sometimes a cabin or church that may appear at some point throughout the film.

 This image is the house in the 'Sinister', which you can see is in the middle of no where, surrounded by trees and it is an old looking house which appears to be quite big. There's normally a family that have just recently moved into the house thats normally haunted.






     
This photo shows the large house from the film 'The Orphanage', which is also a supernatural horror movie. This house s much larger than the house in the 'Sinister' but it still looked like quite an old house which is also in the middle of no where and surrounded  by many trees and forestry.    




Both of these houses are very similar, which proves that the old house surrounded by forestry is a very common feature for the locations in supernatural horror films. We should incorporate this in our film opening as an idea because when choosing the location we should definitely think about it taking place in a large house or in a woods/forest area.
