Locations:
When deciding where to film our thriller opening, we came to the conclusion of two settings. The first one being our friend, Cameron's house (top) and the second being a park (bottom), both of which met the standards needed for successful positioning and lighting.
Cameron's house will be used for the beginning of our thriller opening, whereby the main character leaves the house to walk her dog. This allows us to create shot reverse shot and some over the shoulder shots. From the pictures shown above, Cameron's house is a typical, standard house, which we thought was perfect as it highlights the normality of the main character's everyday life. However, this creates dramatic irony for the audience as they know something isn't quite normal.
The park is where the majority of our opening will be filmed because it will provide us with a wide, open space; allowing more room for different angles of each shot. This way we can also stick to our plan to film each shot 3 times in different angles, so when it comes to editing we will have a variety of shots to choose from. We will also be filming in the park during the evening, while it is dark, to create an eerie atmosphere, that conforms to our overall plot.
