Location and Setting Research


Thriller films normally use places that are out of the way, and therefore have few or no people around.
Woods
Woods provide the setting for a thriller film perfectly. The deserted and isolated atmosphere that this place gives provides the perfect atmosphere for thriller films. Fursthermore, for an attack to happen, somwhere isolated and where thereisn't much people is mre suitable than a crowded place.
Graveyard
Graveyard has a lonely and isolated atmosphere. Furthermore, there are rarely a lot of people in graveyards, so an attack could happen here. However, graveyards would be more suited to a horror movie, unlike our thriller  movie.
City streets
City streets provide a lively or crowded atmosphere. This is mostly used in thriller films to show contrast between two locations, therefore increasing the tension. Therefore, we could use this in a thriller movie and then change the scene into a more isolated place to catch the audiene off-guard and surprise them.

Alleyways
Alleyways give off an isolated atmosphere. Furthermore, unlike other locations this is closer to the city, showing the difference in atmosphere more clearly.
