Location

Location is obviously incredibly important to help set the scene, as it makes it. Therefor we have to choose the absolute best settings for to open the location for our opening Thriller scene.

We have chosen three main areas the opening scene will take place. Location one is in a forest and the character will eventually come out of the forest onto a road. In this scene, the main character begins to hear noises and runs out of the woods to a road, where he is jumped by a group of masked men. This will be filmed in a woods opposite the Carver Barracks. The reason we chose a forest is because they are so renowned for being alarming, in Thriller films, the audience are aware that the woods are never a good place. In Thriller films a forest represent an idea of danger. The two pictures show firstly a birds eye view of the woods we are going to use, that does actually have some kind of track leading through and out of it, which our character will be walking along. Secondly is if you follow the track all the way up that is shown in the picture, you come out here to the road, where our character gets jumped, also what is apparent in this photo is that on the left of the photo, in the distance, you can see the forest our character has just ran out from.

The second location where our opening scene will take place is inside a warehouse. The is where the main character begins to regain consciousness only to find out he is tied to a chair in a darkened warehouse. The location we are using for this, is a barn also right outside the forest we are filming in. We chose this because a warehouse gives the impression of not only, in the middle of nowhere therefor no escape, but also simply because a dark and mysterious warehouse is represented and very spooky and never a good sign in Thriller films. In this photo, it is a birds eye view of the barn we will be using to film this scene.

Our final scene will take place in the location of a bedroom. It is the scene where the main character wakes up in relief to find out he was dreaming. However then looks across at his clock to see the time, and it 3:13, which where the three numbers he saw earlier in his 'dream', finally with a look of shock and horror on his face when he hears a knock on the door. The reason we chose to use a bedroom for this scene are obvious, to make it seem real and believe, you have just woken up from a nightmare, your laying in your bed very shaken up and you proceed to look at the time. This is a very believable scene. I have provided no image to go with this description as we are unsure yet which exact bedroom we will be using to film this scene.
