London National Temperance Hospital - 112 Hampstead Road

This is an abandoned hospital in London and from looking at pictures online, it is unkempt and dark - an ideal place to film parts of our trailer.

This is a picture of a corridor which has rubbish on the floor, the walls are shabby and the windows are dirty. We could film our victims running down this corridor, trying to escape or them walking down here exploring the building before they get trapped.





These are wrought iron staircases at the back of the hospital, we could have a scene where the victims are running down these stairs, or where a victim is dangling from it as part of the game/ their attempt to escape.

Boiler room: resembles a Saw trap.

We could film a scene of the 'game' here because it is dark and flooded. Could mix fake blood with the water on the floor to denote the bloodshed of the victims. Could also paint bloody hands on the walls to tell the audience that the previous visitors of the derelict hospital died viciously. This could act as foreshadowing - the victims can see the bloody hands when exploring the hospital but still stay in there, and they turn become the next victims.

Basement: only equipment left was this drip. The walls are tiled which also resembles many of the rooms in the Saw films. Again, we could paint bloody hands on the tiles - easier to wash off at the end of filming. It is dark and the floors are covered in dirt so the victims will get dirty - adding to their desperation and bloodshed effect.












Balcony: Could film victim running along here, or killer walking down slowly & menacingly. Has a view of the roads and other buildings which could be implied ironically that though there are people all around them, no one knows what happens in the abandoned hospital, they think it is uninhabited.

Corridor: Scene of the exploring this area, one victim walks down the dark stairwell and another says "don't" - this could be how the game starts. There could also be line of blood implying someone was dragged along these stairs to indicate that that will be what happens to the victims.

Brown & Tawse Offices - Bromley By Bow http://www.derelictlondon.com/summer-2014.html

This are old offices in East London. The windows have been smashed in and the outside and inside are covered in graffiti. As our trailer will be horror / urban genres, this graffiti will conform to the urban genre stereotypes.










This is a room covered in graffiti with planks of wood and rubbish all over the floor. The victims could be filmed here exploring this room, and they could find a head or limb among the rubbish. There could be a note attached to the limb (e.g. "You're Next") and this could be how the 'game' starts.








"MAN BELIEVES HE CONTROLS NATURE" written on the wall. Could show this for a second - implies the killer controls nature of the victim's death, if they are to lose the game.











Graffiti: Here is an ominous face, written next to it "THE ROLE OF MAN CAN BE SEEN FROM THE STARS". This can also be shown for a second - implications being "stars" represent above aka heaven - the victims will die. This quote also implies that death is inevitable so this killer is speeding up the process to come to the inevitable.








Corridor: floor covered in dirt and rubbish, walls in graffiti. There are many rooms coming off this corridor; one victim could run down here thinking they are safe but as they run past a room, there killer could be standing there. This will scare the audience because they will discover that this killer is too quick, placing the victims in a hopeless situation.






Eye in a triangle - All-Seeing Eye: Could connect to point made above ^ killer is too quick and sees everything so the victims have no chance of escaping. Could show this for a second for the audience to associate the denotation of the all-seeing eye with the killer.

Abandoned prefab house - Mordred Road http://www.derelictlondon.com/winter-201314.html

There are some prefabricated houses on Mordred Road in South East London; some abandoned. The victims could go exploring here and enter one of the houses and then get trapped in.

Shed in the garden - could be one of the traps (like Saw) or could be the killer's den. Or there could be a scene here where the victim hides here, trying to escape the killer and game.

The windows of one of the houses were replaced with unpainted doors and this adds to the shabby, abandoned effect of the house. We could pretend that the windows were replaced with these doors to prevent people looking in and seeing bloodshed, torture weapons and dead bodies.

The walls of house. Implies that the killer needed an abandoned place to hold his games - does not care about appearance as long as he can carry out his work. Could write or draw something on here to foreshadow the victim's destiny.
