Justication of our location

 

 

Our location that we chose was the Red Hall in Bourne on South road. We decided that we would use this location because it is known to be notorious for being haunted by a woman that once lived in the house. We also picked it because it is a very old building with a beautiful stair case and old fashioned rooms and windows that we can use in our thriller film opening. There is also a big open green space that if we decided we needed to use the space.

This relates to our subgenre we are doing for our thriller, the subgenres we have chosen are crime and psychological thriller. We have chosen this because it is a popular this is a popular subgenre of thriller that audiences enjoy watching. This all relates to our storyline that is of a girl that wonders into an abandoned house where there is a mystery atmosphere about the whole mise-en-scene, and we figure out why as the film goes on.

We are the first AS media students that will record at the Red Hall, so we thought that this gave a sort of mystery of the location because they won’t know if we have re-arranged anything in any room or corridor.

We emailed the Red Hall to ask if they would allow us to film our thriller there, they gladly agree that we were able to shoot there; they also asked if they could have a copy of the completed film as part of the agreement of shooting inside the building. We wanted to see what rooms we could use and how we could go around setting out the rooms we could use. So the Red Hall committee agreed that it would be okay to go to the hall on 14/11/2013 Thursday a week before we was due to film, to look, take pictures and ask any questions that we might have to ask the lady that showed us round. I took photos of every room we were allowed to use and the stair cases, windows and other features that might be useful for us to look at and to help us plan. We also used these pictures to do our shot lists and our equipment list.

We are very grateful that they agreed to the filming.
