Pictures of Location

After we filmed our production we took screenshots of the location we used on google maps. We chose the location wisely as we were aware that the location is one of the main elements which informs the reader of the genre of the film. Since our genre was thriller based, we chose to use a slightly old looking building which was based in a spacious area. The old building gave connotations of past victorians times.

In our filming we had several shots of a character over looking the white blacony shown above. One of the shots included a panning shot of the character overlooking the field equipped with a pair of binoculers. Another shot was a medium close up of the character contently watching, which was followed by a close up of the character realising something which remains ambigious to the audience.















The building overlooked a park and a somewhat spacious field; this was benificial for us as we chose to have a park in our scene. The panning shot we took was of the character overlooking the park therefore the park was bound to be in the shot. However, we agreed within the group that if the park didn't look essential in the sequence, we would edit it in Edit cut pro software and develop a more of a field as opposed to a park.

However, seen as though we filmed two seperate sequences, these pictures are based upon our first location. We keep the somewhat same style but the house and enviroment we used createed an even more eerie atmosphere.

Our second location was in the extremely rural area of lyme. It had very spacious fields which we used to create the notion that there was an extremely anxious girl left alone. We used a longshot as she was walking steadily across the field. At this point the reader was left ambigious to the fact that she was either being followed by anothe character or her own mindset was playing tricks on her.


Another aspect of the location was the house in which we used. It was a very large cottage looking house named Boothbank cottage The house was equipped with a securely closed gate which had the sign "Guard Dogs-Beware" promidently labbelled on the gate. The use of this quiet, reserved house and locked gate created a feeling that the anxious girl was closed off from any form of saviour from what she was being chased by.
