Thriller film locations
When deciding locations to film our project we needed to find a run down urban location for our scenes outside, for this we used The Hewett School. On the schools grounds we found an open space that would be ideal for the scene when the protagonist wakes up and has no idea where he is. For the shots when we see the protagonist running we used different areas of The Hewett School and different shots to show the intensity of the story, for example we filmed a low angle looking up at the protagonist running down some stone stairs, showing that it was an urban location.
For the scenes inside we filmed in my bedroom because of various reasons such as; practicality and I have venetian blinds in my room, which is a common convention in thriller films, with this in mind we decided to include them into our thriller film to give the audience that familiarity when they watch it.
Basic discussion of locations, with some good points about camera angles and potential shot types. Images of the locations would help to focus the discussion.
