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:
We filmed in school toilets, a school playground and a dark bedroom. We also did screen casting types of filming to record the online stalking!
Why did we choose these locations?
-We felt that using the school as our main location would make 'Imprint' even more scary because schools are usually thought of as safe environments, so it's more shocking and therefor gripping that something so horrible is happening in a safe place.
-We felt that screen casting would appeal to our young target audience and would make the O.T.S more scary because the screen casting add to the intensity of the stalking
-We felt a very dark, plain bedroom space would be perfect for the stalker's wall of photos because the darkness symbolizes how evil he is and the wall of photos make the scenes to come even more tense because the audience has seen how long the stalking has been going on!
