Filming Locations

I have decided to research common thriller locations which are seen regularly in thriller movies over the years. However locations such as a yacht out at see would be almost impossible to use for our thriller film so I have decided to gather a few locations which are accessible for my group.

The Forest

The forest is a very flexible location for filming a thriller; it allows the use of very long shots, and room for chasing scenes. Also the shades of light vary depending on the trees above, so this would give my group a catalogue of different areas to work from. The uses of animalistic antagonists are common for a location such as the forest, thus being the animal’s habitat. And a common shot would be the eye view from behind a bush, observing the prey.

The City
In many thrillers the use of a city can introduce a dark, cold atmosphere to the film. It primarily works with the sub genres of Crime, Action and spy Thrillers, working with the police. The use of The City will allow my group to use buildings, ally ways and even car parks to allow our film to look and feel as professional as a real blockbuster movie.
