Filming locations

When filming, we used a variety of different locations so that different atmospheres were created along with emphasis upon the audience.
For the start of our thriller, we filmed within a house. This location set an everyday, normal scenario for the base of our thriller, suspending anxiety on the audience when our crisis and climax occurred. The mass of an inside filming was taken within a small study room. We decorated this location with objects such as pens, pencils and teddy bears representing a scene associated with a young girl. We also used this small room so that the thriller narratives of isolation and entrapment were present. An inside location was again needed due to the adjustment of light. This was used when filming the antagonist, using Helmet Nickel's theory of black hats and white hats, though through the use of lighting within the setting. This same room was used in two different scenes but with the adjustment of light and surrounding objects this created the base for two different atmospheres.

We also used the location of a woods. This was used for the climax of our thriller. The protagonist was filmed here and encompassed the theme of loneliness within the scene due to the surrounds almost creating an arc around the young girl. This creates emphasis and tension within the audience due to the disturbed location of which the young school girl stands alone. This location was used in the dusk of the day so that the darkness effected the sentiment of the scene towards the audience.
