Locations

For our opening title sequence we have taken the idea of our crime scene to take place in an ally. Therefore, in order to prepare for our filming we had to establish specific locations that we were interested to film in and also set our storyline that would be appealing to the audience keeping them interested and one that also fitted the thriller genre. Taking into consideration the British market that our independent film our aiming towards, we used a local location in Carshalton. The local setting also is supported by our feedback from our survey that we completed with results identifying that viewers preferred to see a local setting for a thriller compared to an extravagant one.

The first of the photographs show an ally in the dark. We experimented with the two contrasts of lighting in order to ring out which one was more suited to our thriller genre. 

The second of the photos showed another ally however this time we looked at the angles we wanted to film at. This photo was taken to show the possible idea of creating the murder scene down a straight ally rather the third photo of the possibility of shooting the scene in a more complex layout, however this would allow us to have a larger variety of angles. 

We also filmed in the location of our schools photography dark room. This location was used as a lair for our killer, were we filmed all our extreme close-ups.  We chose this location as the lighting provided a dark and gloomy atmosphere that was perfect for a thriller genre.
