WHy is choice of location important?
Locations are important because they can foreshadow what is going to happen in a scene. They can be used to create the tense atmosphere needed for any horror.
Films are always more interesting when they're filmed in a variety of locations. If every scene is in the same room/building, it's often difficult to keep an audience engaged. Just like you need a variety of shot types and angles, a variety of locations should be used. As an author on 'www.quora.com' says, low budget horror producers sometimes ruin their own films by barely spending anything on good locations to film. Even though they don't need to be fancy like a film with a romance genre, there should be different places featured in the film.

our locations:
For our trailer we filmed in a forrest, a bathroom, a bedroom, a dark room, in a car and a kitchen. The reason we chose most of these locations was to give the idea to the audience that what is happening to the victims in the trailer could happen in reality to anyone making it a more realistic horror. The bathroom, bedroom, car and kitchen are all locations people use everyday therefore the audience could feel as though it could happen to them. The reason we chose a dark room to film the villain and the voodoo scenes was to enhance the idea that she was a spiritual person and was not park of this world as she was being controlled by evil. It shows her to bea fictional character that the audience can choose to believe or not believe similarly to Freddie Cruger.
