For our opening sequence,
we are filming at five locations – Apex Park, Manor Gardens, an alleyway near
Sophie’s house, Shannon’s house and here at school. We have chosen these
locations because they suit our purposes perfectly and are easily accessible.
Our first location is
Apex Park. We chose this location as it contains a wide variety of terrains
that suit our needs perfectly. We are using the small area of woodland, the
park, the lake and the paths. The woodland area is perfect as it ties in with
the conventions of our genre – psychological thrillers. This location is also
very accessible as it is a short walk from our school (as shown in the image
below).
Our second location
is Manor Gardens. We chose this location as it is an old, grand manor house
that we can adapt to suit our needs of it looking like an old mental asylum.
This incorporates to the conventions of psychological thrillers of large, dilapidated
buildings. We can easily walk to the location from school without much trouble.
Our third location is
an alleyway near Sophie’s house. We have chosen this as it is very easy to get
to, secluded so there is less chance of interruption and will help create a
tense atmosphere in our opening sequence. Also, we don’t need any kind of
permission to film in this location which saves us time.
Our fourth location
is Shannon’s house. We chose this location as it is always accessible, easy to
get permission to use and suits our needs well as it is a terraced house. We
can also ensure we’re not interrupted as we can pick a time when Shannon’s
family are not home.
Our final location is
at school, which is very accessible and we don’t need to worry about
interruptions from the public. There is a room in school which suits our needs
perfectly as a cell in an asylum as it is small and plain. It is also very
dark, which integrates the conventions we need to include for our psychological
thriller opening sequence.
