Setting


We threw together a few ideas together for location and where we would like to film, we started off looking at field in the Brentwood area, and we found a good location behind one of our houses. We felt this was too common and a lot of people from previous years had used this idea. Our final idea was to film in the school grounds in the school boiler room; this would have had a great effect on the genre as it has the thriller feel. When coming up with our concept for our thriller, the film 'Saw' had a huge influence on our location choice. Saw used a empty bathroom for the majoirty of its setting and we liked this idea because its quite simplistic and you cannot see the surroundings, or how the characters arrived there, so it leaves the audience questioning. We have asked permission from the Care taker, Mr Piper, and we are ok to film in the boiler room. The conventions of the boiler room have sense of darkness which would need low key lighting, its gives a sense of mystery because the location isn’t familiar with the audience.
