The location we ideally wanted for the title sequence would be very dark and atmospheric, when it came to shooting we didn't want much to be given away and the viewer is left to imagine where the strange actions are taking place, by restricting the information we gave to the audience this will make them feel more uncomfortable as the eerie actions depicted could be done in any common location. This sense of not knowing the location of your villain will be an homage to the title sequence of "Se7en" that used vague shots to establish character yet keep location unknown.
The setting for the news report scene will preferably be done on an ordinary street outside a pair of fairly common looking houses, by doing this we will instantly create a sense of familiarity with the target audience by utilising a location they would be expected to readily associate with, and therefore the realism of our film will be enhanced. By increasing the realism we also increased the fear factor in the audience by suggesting that these seemingly extraordinary events could easily happen in the unsuspecting environment the target audience relates to. Films like "Final Destination" have made the unsuspecting and normal situations and locations terrifying effectively for years and we hope our film can capture that essence as well.
