Locations

We spent quite a while deciding on a suitable location to film our thriller. Firstly we decided that we did not want to film our thriller in school because this was not the setting we wanted. This meant that instead of coming to our lesson in college we could film at our desired location. We then decided that we wanted to film at a house because this would be an extremely suitable location for the plot of our thriller. This meant that we could choose whether to film at my house, Jonathan's house or Oliver's mum's house or his dad's house. The best time to film our thriller would be when we had a free house this is because no one would be able to interfere with our work and progress. Me and Oliver thought it would be a good idea to film at his mum's house but Jonathan wanted to film at Oliver's dad's house and after some discussion we decided to choose Oliver's dad's house to be our location for our thriller. This is because Oliver's dad's house looks more old fashioned when compared with his mum's house which looks more modern. The old fashioned look automatically made our thriller a bit more interesting and effective. We decided to use the kitchen because it was on the back of the house facing the garden. Also the back door was clear glass which meant the victim and the villain could see each other before the door opened. We also used the lounge which was where the dead body sitting on the couch was.

The gate which the victim walks through is slightly creaky which makes the atmosphere more mysterious, which is why it fits in well with our thriller.

The alley which leads to the front door also creates a mysterious atmosphere. This is because the house looks fairly old fashioned which makes it more gothic and scary.
