We will film our Thriller in the early evening, and therefore the lighting will be dark and dingy. As it is nearly pitch black the trees in the woods will create shadows, this will create tension. Also when the wind blows and howls through the trees and bushes it will give a ghostly feel to the thriller opening scene. It will also give a sense of mystery.
Also by having the perfect lighting it will fit the conventions of a thriller well and it will create tension and anticipation of what is going to happen next.
Woods are not a usual pathway home, so it will make the audience wonder what is going to happen next, this creates suspense.
Overal we felt that this location was perfect for our thriller film as it fit the conventions of a thriller and we thought that it went very well we our plot.
However when filming our first scenes, we came across many problems. When we eventually got there after school we found that it was far too dark to film. As codicote was far away we then decided it would probably be best to look for a closer location that we could get to easily.
Therefore we then looked at filming it at Ickleford Woods. But we soon realised that although it would be a good place for a thriller to start, we realised that it would take away our storyline. It would not fit with the idea of the 2 girls walking home as by looking at the pictures below you can see it was set near a train line.

But then we found a closer and better location, this is the woods near our school. This was obvioulsy the best place to film our thriller as it fitted the conventions well and also fitted the plot well. Also it was so close to our school therefore there was easy acces to it and we could manage to film after school as it would not be too dark.

The picture above shows where the man will be standing between the trees. We think this looks good as it gives a sense of mystery and as the man will be standing with a hoodie on we will not be able to see him very well. Which is what we want.
The picture to the right shows what the over the shoulder shot will look like with the man and the photo. Also looking at the girl walking off around the Blind Corner!
The flashback part of our opening scene will be filmed at Alices house and this is because it is a old and very mysterious house. We feel that it will create a lot of tension and scense of mystery.
Below is some pictures of the house and some pictures of the shots that we would like to do.
