Locations

Location 1


This area is located in Stockwell and will be the area in which our main character will live. We decided to use this area as it shown to have a safe aesthetic to it therefore the contrast with later on in the film where the character is more vulnerable. The area is urban but not that urban due to a large amount of greenery located in the area, another contrast to the scenes that will be shown later on in the film which will be very urban and un-natural. This wealth suggest naivety in the girl main character therefore the audience will have higher sympathy for her if anything happened to her.

Location 2


This street is located in Pimlico and has the similar aesthetics to the first location. This is another possible located of where the girl could live as it still would show a large contrast to darker grittier scenes later on in the film. The use of white houses is a key aspect of deciding where to film due to the contrast between light and dark and an stereotypical audiences associate perception with them; light is good and dark is bad.




















Location 3


This area is located up town near St.Pauls, the narrow street gives the sense that you are enclosed and cannot escape from there, therefore for psychological thriller it would be good to use. This location also reminds me of the scene in Inception after the main character played by Leornado DiCaprio is being chased in a European city, within this scene he runs down an alley and the walls mysteriously become smaller and smaller towards the end making it harder and harder to escape, this can be interpreted as him trying to escape from his dream or perhaps his reality. The meaning in using this alley is the use of the spire of St.Pauls, as our film has a religious aspect to it, it would be interesting to know the reaction and interpretation of the audience to this shot.

Location 4



This area is located near Wandsworth / Clapham and is a restaurant. I like the aesthetics of this building due to its gothic appearance and architecture. A typical 'haunted' house if you will, this location may be used to pretend to be the college in which the main character goes to school and meets the antagonist for the first time. The use of this building in the trailer may already suggest a  horror film due to conventions in other films which use the same kind of overbearing bold buildings. Our filming schedule is also planned for winter months, therefore another aesthetic of this area is the environment surrounding the building. It is located in a green area and since it will be winter the trees and bushes will be bare, another convention of horror films as it suggests mortality

Location 5

This location is near Bank, in the City of London which is a disused car park which is available for us to film in. We aim to use a green filter/gel for this area as it gives a creepy and eerie tone to the shots used. The location will be the area where we film the cult scenes which shows the different members of the cult the antagonist is a member of, the location has many different styles of area which will be available to use, we aim to give the feel of the main character not being able to escape from this area and to have a contrast from her place where she lives which is outside, light and clean whilst this area is dark, grim and underground. The underground aspect could also be used to have a sub-context due to the religious aspect of the film, it could be shown to be hell because it is underground.

Location 6

This is an outside area outside lambeth college, this could be a good place for the meeting of the characters. It is a large open space that is illuminated at night, the high wall feature adds for an interesting back drop. There is a strange orange sculpture, this can actually be filmed through and this distorts images and acts a filter.

Location 7


This location is in Forest Hill, South London and would be a good Master Shot of London at the beginning of the trailer to establish were the film is set. The area is also very secluded and eerie and therefore would go with the tone of the film. From this point also there is a view of Saint Pauls cathedral and therefore it would be useful to have a shot of St.Pauls to hint at a religious aspect to the film and also would link in later on in the trailer when St Paul is used as a backdrop to one of the scenes shown in location 2. This shot would also show the difference between urban and rural and therefore a contrast alike to later on in the film where the safe urban area that the main character lives in changes to a darker setting, (compare location 1 to location 4)
