Filming Locations- Sophie and Emmie

Location

When we was planning our thriller, the location of it was very important as it sets the scene and is usually the first shot the auidence see. When came up with a variety of ideas where we could film but filming down the canal seemed to be the best idea as there is many arces of trees and woodland and this would be perfect for our stalker sequence. 

As we are doing an establishing shot to set the scene, the first image of the bridge is where number characters will be standing on the bridge train spotting, this immediately sets the scene and the audience can relate to such place. The bridge by the canal will be a very important shot, as it is the first shot that the audience see.

 

The main location in our opening sequence will be the footpath alongside the canal and this is where the stalk will take place. Most stalker thrillers take place in a dark, secluded place so this is why we choose the canal for the main action to happen. During our thriller sequence we wanted to stick to the traditional stereotypes and use this as one of our conventions. Although there will still be passes by, this location will be fairly rural so is perfect for filming.

Overall, I believe that the locations we have chosen are perfect for the sequence we are filming due to the small amount of people who will be passing by and it is a perfect location for a stalker scene to take place, our thriller also sticks to the thriller conventions.
