Thriller location

The setting of our thriller needed to appropriate for the look of a middle-class, middle aged mans' house. The other locations around the house needed to help create mystery this was achieved by using dark secluded areas or busy local streets which created tension between the actors as they have to act more suspicious. The film was filmed in close proximentries as most of the shoting was done in one house.
The two shots above are taken from outside the Mysterious mans house and are used in the planning of Simon's break in to the house with his gang, this is appropriate as stereotypically gangs of teenagers hang around on street corners. Also it used to show the man getting closer to returning to his house.

This shot is of the front of the house, highlighting where the man's bedroom is on the top right with the lights on behind the curtain, this is significant becuase this is where the final scene in the opening takes place.

The door signifiers the man's arrival to the house and the shot from outside looking is straight away draws attention as the light from inside the house, is somewhat welcoming. The hallway also is important in the film as the man walks through it before he is suspicious to the break in to his house. There were a couple of mise-en-scene problems and one in particular we felt was not appropraite for the film and that was the fish mobile, which didnt fit the description of a dangerous Gangsta Man's house. There are also a number of family pictures which we decided we would leave in the shoting of the film becuase it helps to show the contrast between a man who can be a family man and a dangerous man who owns a gun.
