Research into locations

Research into locations:

The location we hope to film on is going to be a Suburban street, just like from the film ‘The Long Kiss Goodnight’. By doing so we can make the storyline seem as realistic as possible but arranging the set as accurately as we can with real life props on the scene; for example cars, trees, lampposts etc. Therefore by filming on a Suburban street we are able to set the seen more accurately, especially as we are filming a low budget British film.

The film is set on a normal street where middle class family would live. It’s a quiet street just like the location we are planning on using. This relates to the thriller genre as it represents mystery and tension because it is an unlikely place for crimes, killings and other dangerous things seen in thrillers to happen in a normal, quiet suburban street.

This is the location we are planning to use, its similar to the street from ‘Long Kiss Goodnight’ as it a typical, quiet neighbourhood where not much drama occurs. Also it’s a street where families live with young children, which gives the impression it’s a safe neighbourhood- just like the street from ‘Long Kiss Goodnight’. The street were using is located in North West London. This will be used to help create the narrative and mise-en-scene as it adds to the mystery, tension and drama that this could be any street and any
house and the audience won't know where it is or what's going
to happen. It also show the woman's innocence because she
lives in a normal street where something so deadly and threatening,
like the crime in the thriller, would never be likely to occur.
