Task 8: Locations for our film

What are ideal locations for our opening?

The reasons we chose locations such as heavily nature filled parks, dilapidated statues and open fields is because it allows for versatile camera shots and also supports the thriller genre. The pictures in the park were taken around the morning so that the shots mimicked the misty and isolated landscape that the character Lara would wake up in.

The image of a bus stop was taken at night in order to appear more intense and ominous. The dim light whilst the background is dark presents an effective contrast that we could use for our opening. It helps bring across connotations such as fear and mystery as the audience would be unaware of why no one else is in the street.

Other locations we may consider.

This location is close by and provides a wide landscape.



Lara could walk through this location.

A bedroom or garage may be used, I chose to change the lighting in this room to red to present the ominous feeling that
it could present.

The characters could be shown entering the room or going down these stairs to get there.
