Unlikely Location: Derelict Buildings

Derelict buildings are places that people find scary as there is no certainty what has inhabited the buildings and has been used in several horror films. The dark, abandoned look of this particular location (St Andrews asylum) has been abandoned for a number of years and the dark corridors and peeling paint looks very horror.

An example of a horror film set in an asylum is Jacob's Ladder.

The problem with this location is it is guarded by security and getting access to film is unlikely. This is the   case with most derelict buildings.

Likely Location: Woods

I hope to film this film in mousehold heath, a local wood. A wood is quite a stereotypical location for horror as they are hard to navigate through and the lack of certainty is terrifying to many. I plan to film in the evening and at night, so the wilderness becomes unpredictable and the locations are horrifying. There are also several clearings, which can give some freedom of location if necessary. There are also ponds, should I want a drowning scene. I think for the rough narrative I have planned, there are few better locations for the film. Whilst there are other local woods, there is no discernible features in the woods that would facilitate the need for me to travel there whereas Mousehold is extremely close to me.
