New location!

I called the drama centre to explain our plans and ask if filming there would be a possibility, the staff were extremely helpful and offered for me to meet them the following day. At the meeting, they informed me that the centre was open most days, all day, and that we could film any time they were open. This was extremely relieving after having to work on limited hours, on specific dates. The interior was really useful for our trailer, with a cellar, corridors, and eerie looking outside prop sheds. We were also given access to the props department, which some brilliant props for our trailer. Lanterns, candles, fake guns and a wheelchair were among just a few which really helped authenticate our mise-en-scene. We were also able to add extra scenes to our storyboard which otherwise wouldn't have been possible without those specific props, such as a gun being pulled from the draw, and a man hanging from a rope. These definitely helped to add and emphasise to the horror aspect of our psychological thriller. The wardrobe department and costumes were also offered to us , which was particularly helpful as again, there were lots of older style costumes to help add to the representation of the film being set in the past.
