Location: Shed

The shed at the end of Alix's garden is a really good location for a thriller because it's really quite eerie, we think it would be perfect as it has a creepy atmosphere and would be ideal for a storyline surrounding stalking or serial killers.

Matt's reccie also consists of a shed location and alleyways....

We thought this shed could work as an effective thriller location as it looks very isolated and secretive, which would be ideal for a serial killer's hide away. Also the size of the location would mean that action codes inside the shed are not restricted and would probably make filming much esier. On the other hand we as a group decided not to use this location as it looks to cultivated and colourful, whereas we feel if we did use a shed it would need to be dark, dingy and creepy.

As a group we liked this alleyway as it connnoted a really reckless and eerie atmosphere (a feeling of unknown). We also liked how narrow this was as it provides a sense of claustrophobia. We have now decided on a better location and so at present will not take this any further.

As a group we diecided that this alleyway could potentially provide a really enigmatic opening shot to our thriller. We had an idea that we would slowly reverse track the serial killer (villain) in our thriller and gradually tilt up to reveal more of him (more enigma codes, his gesture and dress code). Therefore we thought that this really narrow alleyway would make the audience more intimidated by him, whilst the gravel would produce a really enigmatic diegetic sound effect. We have more recently however, decided on using another location which fits our idea more appropriately.
