Location

For our opening of our thriller we would like to film in two locations. The first location is a family home. We haven’t decided whose home we are going to use yet but it needs to have a white bathroom. This white bathroom connotes clean and happy, this is what we want because the white clean bathroom sharply contrasts the dirty, messy house in our second location. The second location is an old abandon farm. It has an old cottage and 2 warehouses and one stable house with a smaller warehouse inside it. The biggest warehouse is huge, the second one has a very run down roof. This looks really cool when it is sunny and it implies a sense of danger when inside because of the jagged and sharp roof. The old stable is extremely run down, in one room the roof had had collapsed in the corner (we didn’t go in that room). In the old stable there is a hole in the wall looking into another room. This hole could connote lots of things such as claustrophobia and someone watching what’s in the other room. The cottage is a 1970’s built house that is very messy. There is dust everywhere and rubble in most rooms. There is an arch in between the living and dining room. We walked up the stairs but when we got to the top the whole top floor was collapsed so we didn’t explore the top floor. The farm is situated at the top of a hill. The old farm land was used as a landfill site in the 1980’s so it cannot be built on. The farm is situated on the outskirts of the city, to the south. Just behind the farm the A47 rumbles past, and about 100m so does the busy Norwich-London train line. I like the way it’s quite isolated from civilisation but it has the fast moving traffic and trains that would not stop, so it is quite isolated. Also near the farm there are some small woods on a steep hill, a pond (which could be frozen over if it is cold enough), lots of abandoned fridges, and because its an old landfill site, the grass that is covering the festering landfill makes the rolling hills resemble something like Teletubyland. Around the grassy hills there are air outlets where the methane produced from the landfill can escape. These outlets are made out of solid iron and look basically like air vents in the middle of the field. Overall this location is perfect. It’s not to far from the city to make it rural but it’s not to urban either. It’s perfectly situated and the added things like the pond, wooded hill and the fridges add to the amount of ideas we could use.
