Setting Ideas for Different Genre's

In my past two blogposts I have spoken in detail about setting, however I wanted to make a blogpost to give some examples of different locations that could be used to film in, according to different genres.

Romance:

• field (a couple enjoying a picnic/running around)
• a beach (a romantic beach walk)
• countryside (capture pure natural beauty, mirroring the relationship)
• bright city (capture electric atmosphere, mirroring the relationship)

Horror:

• abandoned shed (create eery atmosphere)
• graveyard
• empty city or field (abandoned)

Drama:

• home (portraying daily issues)
• abroad (showing a long distance relationship)
• hospital

Documentary:

• home
• following someone round their daily lives

Kids/Family:

• colourful locations
• a family home
• days out (e.g. a beach or funfair)
