Final Thriller location

These pictures below show the location that we have all decided on where to set our Thriller. The pictures are of an old farm house in Thurlby and we think this is the best location because it is run down, old creepy and the perfect location for the Thriller idea that we have.

This image shows a collapsed roof and this suggest that the building has not been used in a while.

This also shows how old the building is because their is vegetation growing from the ground of the house.

This image shows what a scruffy state the building is in. This makes this location very mysterious and strange.

This image shows some old and strange equipment that may have been used once before.

This is an image of tiles slowly coming off the roof due to the age of the building.

This image is of some weird equipment making for a strange setting for our thriller. The location overall is very remote and abandoned which will be useful as part of a good opening.

Final storyboard

The pictures above are of our final storyboard for our Thriller task called "Ransom". The red and black pen include annotations of the different camera angles, editing techniques, acting positions and much more. This storyboard will help us to film our Thriller correctly by following this script properly.

Draft storyboards

These are the first draft storyboards that helped us to plan the Thriller task to a good amount of detail. This first storyboard has a few different shots that we were planning to use in our Thriller task and the second storyboard contains some editing techniques, props and location that we could use.

Thriller location ideas

These pictures are a few of the ideas we thought of for the location of our Thriller task. In the end we chose the abandoned house as our thriller location becasue it is out in the open, mysterious and the perfect location in order for it to look like a shady place for a killers hide out.
