Location

The location of my thriller will be in a family home. We will mostly focus on the dining room but we will pass through rooms such as the hall way, the lounge, the study, the living room and the garden/driveway.

Using a family home as a location I think is a good idea because it is a very normal, natural setting that has connotations of warmth and safety, which contrasts with the plot which is far from warm and safe. The audience will be able to empathise with the situation as the fact it is set in a family home makes them think the same situation could happen to them, therefore creating a sense of tension. Setting the first 2 minutes of my thriller in a family home draws the audience into a false sense of security, making them think nothing bad could happen in the characters home, until the characters start reading the newspaper talking about the killer. The audience then starts feeling suspense, wondering whether the killer will strike in this home.

I have taken some pictures in my location in the style of some of the shots that I will use.
