Research: Location shots

Locations for the Thriller genre need to be more realistic areas that the audience can relate to as Thriller's are mainly more realistic than other films such as Action genres.

St Mary's and Margaret's Church

Here, I filmed the scenes for the funeral where the two brother's are looking at their mother and father's grave, I chose this obviously because it is a graveyard, but also because it is a more realistic setting of graveyard instead of ones that you see in Horror films where they've gone out of their way to make the graveyard look spooky and terrifying, whereas I was going for a more sad, dull, and gritty look. This is also the scene where we see the mystery woman in the background and the location amplifies this because the graveyard already adds tension with it being so eerily quiet and empty, and now its creating suspension and mystery by adding this unknown woman.

Britannia Rd

I chose this area for the fight scenes because even though it is quite a public area, I chose to film a bit further deeper into the fields away from everyone which gave it more of a desolate feel. I wanted this because the reason why they end up here is because they are tracking the killer of their parents and then they become suspicious of one another, and being in a desolate area makes it easier for them to blame one another, also because it gives them a hopeless feeling and they become so desperate to find the answer that they end up turning on one another.

Blue Boar Ln

For the final location, I wanted it in a more residential area, this is where I have filmed them running with a hand-held/tracking shot, and this is really where the tension and gripping of seats starts to kick in, this location helps because when it is set in a more residential area then the more threat there is and likelihood of someone getting hurt which builds the tension, also because of the houses everywhere, it's very easy to feel trapped or as if something is looming over you.

Update
Britannia Rd. will no longer be used as a location for my teaser trailer as I will be removing the shot that was filmed there entirely from my teaser trailer as I no longer want it and will be replacing it with a shot filmed in my house in a study room.
Here, is a picture of the new location I will be using in my teaser trailer.

All other locations will remain the same.
