The Process of Filming

After the decision of me and my group to change the idea of our thriller, filming it has been more successful, and we are achieving what wanted. We've mainly been focusing on creating established shots, and concentrating on the style of our film. We changed the location to a block of the flats within the city centre, which we used for our chase scene between our two characters. We chose the block of flats as they contained a very "city" feel about them, and it was easy to imagine a chase scene happening in them.

The layout of the flats were also quite symmetrical, and looked effective with stairs leading down to the ground either side, which is where we filmed parts of the chase scene. We also used a range of thriller signifies in our thriller, such as spiral staircases, as they are a known thriller signifier, and looked very effective. We also filmed a white van as white vans are normally associated with kidnappings, and we wanted to suggest to the audience than the main female protagonist had been kidnapped.
