Locations For Our Thriller Film Opening

When we planned our opening scene, we chose to do a babysitting scenario. This meant we only needed one location for filming. We filmed at a member of our groups house, which was not too far from school and fitted the babysitting scene well. This meant that during our allocated filming time during lessons, we could easily access the house on foot.

As the majority of the group members live in Hitchin, we then had to choose which of our houses would be the most suitable. We chose the location we did because the area outside the house was perfect for the establishing shot due to the amount of space, meaning we could get a large zoom - in to the house window. Also the lounge is open planned, which meant that we could easily set up the tripod for the inside scenes. The kitchen in the house was very close to the lounge, and this meant that the pan shot we wanted of the babysitting walking across the lounge to the kitchen could be acheived. The back door in the kitchen was perfect for the shot of the babysitter disappearing into darkness, meaning that this location was great for filming our opening 2 minutes of our film.
