In order to prepare for our filming and planning, Jess and I took pictures of the area in which we will be using to set our film opening. We felt that the mise en scene of the locations were very suited to a conventional thriller film, due to the eerie vastness of the countryside area. Hopefully on the day we shoot the film, the weather will be dull and grey, as this will introduce a natural pathetic fallacy.
Conventionally, the beginning of a thriller genre, sub-genre phycological film, includes still shots of the location where the film is set with the intention of engaging the audience and creating suspense within the first few seconds. Therefore, we will be using the roundabout in the park, the long road in the field and the old abandoned lorries to shoot, with different camera angles such as low and camera shots such as establishing. This will help the audience have a better understanding of the setting of the film and how eerie it is, implying that something is about to happen - slowly introducing the enigma.
The tree we shall be using to hang the dolls on will be this one, as there are many thick branches and without leaves in the winter, it looks scary.
Just opposite this tree is the lake which we shall be using for when the lady finds the floating shoe and doll. It's quite a marsh-y lake, which can be easily associated with tragic drowning deaths, which is also featured in the classic thriller film The Woman In Black.
