Setting/ Setting/ LocationLocation

After researching into pre-existing thriller trails and conducting our own research we developed ideas into places in which we could possibly film in that would best suit our narrative. We noticed that during trailers only one to three locations are normally shown, this may be because trailers normally last around 2 minutes, so during this time it allows the audience to get a general idea about the films narrative and its setting.

After we considered using potential location, we decided to only use one as we believe this would best suit our narrative and also best represent our genre.

Below are the location we considered but decided not to use:

0 Wood-We considered using this as it best represents a thriller and is normally associated with thriller film. However we decided not to use this as its cliché and would be hard to include in our narrative.

0 Abandoned house- We decide that this would have an eerie aspect and would suit our theme of obsessions well, however, we wouldn’t have access to a abandoned house so it was unrealistic to use.

0 Empty rooms - We considered using this as we could build our potential narrative around this ,however, it wouldn’t be the best as it wouldn’t represent the genre of thriller and wouldn't be attracting towards our target audience.

0 Warehouse-We believe this location would be good to use for our trailer as it gives off eerie vibes and we could build up on our narrative in this location, however, we wouldn’t have access to this building.

0 Roads -We believe this location could off been used for a short period of time during our narrative as it adds verisimilitude , however, after finishing our narrative this location didn’t fit in.

Chosen setting/Location After careful consideration we decided the best location for our

production would be inside the antagonist bedroom, the setting being a teenage girls room. After confirming our narrative and character we decide by using a teenage girls room and her being the antagonist set the scene for the audience and we can clearly shown our narrative as the girls obsession starts to grown shown through props in her room.

We believe this location would be the best as it is actually a teenage girls bedroom allowing the setting to look realistic. The colours used are stereotypical pinks, whites , purple etc. The bedroom have feminine touched and typical teenage stuff e.g. school books etc. This will make the audience first believe she is a typical teenager.

By having this location as the setting for our film it helps build verisimilitude as the audience are lead to first believe she is a normal teenage shown through her room. We could include a plot twist here as the audience would then start to see her as the antagonist helping to build tension.
