chosen location updated

 Our thriller will be filmed mainly at Mollae’s house. We hope to produce a variety of interesting shots with our chosen location adding to the thriller genre in addition to successfully establishing location.

Our first location is the pavement outside of Mollae’s house. The houses in the area are nice and well organised, this implies our character comes from a good background. Hopefully this will make the audience more sympathetic towards "Eva" as it provides an innocent sense to her character. We plan to shoot here when it begins to get dark. In addition, it would be ideal to film when it’s been raining to create a reflective pavement against the dark contrast. This shall hopefully create a kind of pathetic fallacy with the weather representing the bad events that occur. The darkness with the streetlights will allow for some interesting shadows providing an ominous element to this scene. Furthermore, the darkness will carry negative connotations giving the scene a foreshadowing element.

Our next location is a living room that’s being redecorated in Mollae’s house. We feel this would be an excellent location to display the kidnappers preparation shots. The room is covered in plastic sheets and contains things such as paint pots and tools like screwdrivers and saws. This provides a professional sense to the kidnappers. Ideally, this will make them appear more to be feared adding the element of suspense to their preparation. The location also has a heavy door so we plan to have a shot of it slamming shut. The interesting ensemble of windows should also allow for some interesting eerie shadows.

Our next location will be Mollae’s room. It’s a nice room, therefore it should create a heavy contrast to when she’s trapped in the shed which will be an extreme opposite. She has a full length mirror so we hope to create some interesting shots using that. The room should connote innocence in her character making her seem small and innocent which leads to her hopelessness later on in the dark shed.

Leading on, there is a shed in Mollae’s garden. This is an ideal  location in which we plan to withhold our kidnapped character. It’s dark representing the metaphorical darkness and the fact there’s no windows represents a struggle for life by literally and metaphorically removing the light, therefore carrying dark connotations. There’s a singular lightbulb swinging from the ceiling so we hope to create some interesting shots with this, it should provide an ominous sense to the peace giving the audience a sense of disorientation. the floors and walls are all hard and wooden making them seem unpleasant suggesting this harsh reality the character faces.
