Location Scouting

Eaton Park :For the meeting between the two gangs in the deserted park, this will be filmed at night time. We chose this location because not only can we film at night time, but it has the circular building (shown on photo) which can be used to create a claustrophobic atmosphere, despite being a spacious area. The columns and trees surrounding the building will help to create shadows and darkness, which will make a sense of mystery and convey a signifier of a thriller film.





Lucy's House (Living Room):For the flash back scenes of Rex's wife talking to him on the phone. We chose this location because it is a good homely setting, perfect for the phone call scene. Also we do not need permission to film there, and it is easy to get to.







St. Benedict's Street:For the chase scene between the two gangs at the end and beginning of thriller film. We chose this location because it is an urban setting, but not as busy as the city centre so there wont be people walking into and ruining the shots. The buildings on the street, such as the pub photographed, appear seedy and therefore create a feeling of the underbelly of the city. Because there are alleyways leading off from the street, we can get shots using vanishing points, and can use the alleys during the chase to create feelings of claustrophobia.

I think that my living room for filming the scene with Roxy in had a great mise-en-scene for a thriller :) Lol x
