Today our group visited the location of where we plan to film our thriller; all along we have wanted our piece to be under the sub genre of a “horror thriller”. We want to create a sense of fear for the audience; we will do this by using enigmas (an important convention of a thriller movie). The use of enigmas will create tension and build up to what would happen in the rest of the movie.
Our location is set in “Highwood Hospital” in Brentwood; it has a lot of abandoned Victorian buildings which are run down and derelict with boarded up windows.
We thought this would immediately create a sense of fear for the viewers, because it is a derelict area meaning nobody is around, and it is a creepy place because it has an old fashioned vibe.
When visiting then location, we found things we didn’t expect but which we are glad are there because they will add greatly to the final result of the film.
The smashed window is an enigma because it causes the viewers to question why and how it got smashed.
We found a a room which had old components of a toilet, it had a very creepy feel to it.
Our main find was a basement at the back of one of the buildings, it had two chairs already inside and had an abandoned kind of feel, the walls were crumbling, there were pipes on the floor and leaves covered the door.
We would like to base most of the film in here because it was so ideal for our initial idea.
Other places involved an ally way with barbed wire on the top.
As a group we are extremely happy with what we found today, and now feel like our idea has developed into something better and the location will give our film exactly the right setting of a horror thriller.
We are also now aware of some of the dangers we will now face, so we will add more to the health and safety hazards table.
