Thriller - Location

I was putting into consideration what I would like the basis of our shots to look like. This is to get a rough idea of how we want the shots to pan out and so that we won't be rushing on the day with no rough plan. This also ties in with the storyboard and how I thought this could potentially work.

My first picture of the London eye is a shot from Waterloo Bridge, looking out onto the thames and the view. I think this will work really well, it gives the audience an idea as to where our film is set, the iconic image of London suggests it's a big deal and that people will be intrigued as its something that the population can relate to with our thriller. However this photo is in the evening whereas we are planning to get our shot at dawn. I would also like the angle to be moved over to the right so that we could get more of a clear angle of the river.

This next image is one that I found on google images of the pub that we are using (The Devereux) which is on Fleet Street, adjacent to the Strand. I like the shot its arty and eerie however we will not be shooting in black and white but I find it's a good low angle example of the outside.

Another one of our locations is using a park, something which is usually associated with being crowded, a place for families and socializing. However we're using this to create contrast in our thriller, something which is usually happy to and flip it on its side to make it eerie, spooky and unlikely. We have decided to use St James Park as its near, big, and there are bound to be some places which are empty in order for us to do some filming. The picture that I've chosen well represents a thriller. Its a mystical and eerie shot which I found very interesting and would quite like to include it given the chance.

As I am in the middle of doing a rekkie for the location, I liked the idea of using Southbank skate park. Its quite a derelect area with grafiti suggesting it is mainly used by young people which also suggests that the disease has been spread to all ages and is affecting all members of the public. I also think it would visually be very interesting as its quite dark, quite hidden away and compliments the idea of the thriller through being damaged.
