Location recee

We filmed our Thriller opening sequence at Liams house and in the grounds as it offers a wide range of locations, from Forested areas to a cafe location which we use in the opening shot.
Shot locations:
Cafe location potential problems: As public use this area we may have to ask permission from people in the cafe if they would mind being on the film, however hopefully the cafe will be empty for our use.

We then follow the protagonist to his house where he lives, this house is Liams and is therefore owned by a family. This causes some problems.
House location potential problems: As Liam has more family members, unlike the protagonist, we will have to hide decorations in the house such as family photos or shoes to give the impression the protagonist lives by himself. Lighting in the living room was very dull and the only light offered was dim lighting through the windows or lighting from the light in the ceiling. This light in the ceiling was very orange so may give a more positive lighting effect for a negative feeling scene.

The dream sequence in our thriller 'Fool's Paradise' is filmed in a forested area, this offers more problems.
Forested location potential problems: The ground on this area may not be level so footing will be hard, especially if we film in the dark. Also this location may have stones on the foor where out Female part will have to fall on the floor, this is a problem we will over come by scouting the floor for potential harmful materials, such as big sticks or stones.

As all our shots were filmed at or in Liams grounds we knew there would not be too many problems with the public being in shot and we could use the locations when we wanted. This was benificial as we didn't have to research the local area so much.
From each of our shots we could hear the main road nearby Liam's house. This added an urban effect to the shots, which may help the viewers identify with the location easier.
Liam's little sister was abscent from the house, which was a good thing as she would not get in the way during filming.
