Location/Settings

we had to think extremely carefully about our location and settings,as before we started filming we knew that we needed to film various different locations,to add to all the different settings as was the main plot of the thriller. The locations we chose had to be mainstream-as in it had to be somewhere that was recognizable by the audience. we also needed them to be public places where there would be lots of people. therefore one of the locations we chose to film was outside the london eye where we were sure that there would be lots of people and we were aware that it was easily recognisable by the audience. we also researched the most easiest recognisable places in london and in the top three was the london eye.

Another location that we used was Wembley park station. we chose this because we wanted to have a shot outside a station,and the reason we picked Wembley park in particular was because we wanted to show that we filmed in different parts of London not just the central. Also because Wembley park is a busy station where there is a lot of people and it is busy,however we had to be careful as they the London underground were not willing to let us film inside the station,so we had to place the camera outside the station and have a high shot of the character walking up the station.we decided to have a high angled shot as it emphases the amount of people that were around and it also makes the character fit in with the crowd as we didn't want him to stand out.

Other locations we used was an empty park as we needed an empty area for the end scene where the character was meant to be on the phone. we chose an empty park because the isolated background suggests mystery and alienation in the mind of the character,and it makes the audience curious to figure out the mystery behind the character. it also creates a sense of enigma.
