Location
We first looked at having our trailer set in a safe location, like a house because of Carol Clover's theory of "bad things happen in safe places", and it would also make the absence of authority more apparent, like Wes Craven's theory.

We decided because our trailer was an apocalyptic scenario then going along with Wes Craven's theory of "bad things happen in bad places" would suit our trailer better. We decided we needed a basement to use as our location. We wanted it to be quite dark, and looking quite old so that it looked more like a bunker or shelter where our protagonists would seek refuge.

'The Blair Witch Project (1999)
We chose to use the basement of our school. It is dark and looks fairly old, and provided us with some good lighting for our shots. We wanted it look a little like some of the shots in 'The Blair Witch Project'.
