Our film was from within the Thriller Genre but it’s content was to break the conventions of that genre. Had scouted various locations previously and had all sorts of ideas. We wanted to film in a deserted park and at night. However it proved best to film in the day and where we could all meet easily. The perfect location ended up being school and the surrounding area. Our film was going to be mainly a collective to close-up’s and other shots. So we found that we didn’t need glamorous location to achieve clever and intriguing shots.
As we had composed a character profile and storyboard we had plans to follow. Considering this we wanted to film in the day , so that the setting and lighting would be high-key which would produce a natural and also warming setting. As our film is set in everyday times and considering the characters of two friends. We wanted to show them in natural settings so that the story and place could relate to that of our target audience. We also wanted to be careful not to follow the typical convention of a dark gloomy night and contrast that by displaying how this sort of event can happen in an everyday setting. The green area I filmed Anisha and Riham. I filmed various close up shots and extremes and caught the best lighting possible in the light of day. We found the natural lighting complimented the shots being taken and lit them very well.
This toilet is where we spent most of our time. The climax at the end of the sequence would be filmed here. We found it on the day of filming whilst we were still looking for a final location. We decided to use this bathroom in particular as it was hidden , very quite and had a massive mirror. The surrounding of a bathroom also seemed very natural as it was easy to see that it was a school one. This was key as most of our target audience are still attending school and college. This area would be perfect as it is very identifiable and by filming in it we could play around with lighting and filters as well as props within.
