Potential Thriller Opening Locations


This photograph shows a padlocked gate. I chose to take this photogrpah because it makes the viewers question what is behind the gate and why it is padlocked? As well, the positioning of the photograph hides what is behind it, which adds to the eerieness of the picture.




In this picture, a human figure dressed in black can be seen standing next to a tree. I chose to take this photo as it's quite a creepy photograph, and it could mean a number of different things. As well, the figure is covering the whole road sign, which could be seen as though it's a hidden location, in which is a secret. Also, the photo has a tinted red effect on it, which emphasises that it is night time.







I chose to take this photo as the dark night creates quite a scary affect. As well, the branches on the trees could connote someone reaching out and grabbing somebody, which could be a possible narrative for my thriller opening well. Finally, in the right hand corner of the photograph, there is the roof of a shed, this could be seen as a place where someone could hide, or even be taken, as this represents the themes of a thriller.








I chose to take a photograph of this scene, as i think it portrays the themes of a thriller well. For example, the road is dark, deserted with no-one around which creates a eerie atmosphere and makes the audience wonder where everyone has gone? As well, the road leads into the distance to somewhere that cannot be seen clearly, which again makes the viewers think where does the road lead to?







I chose this photograph as the black and white effect creates a dark mood. As well, the darkness in the background could represent someone or something lurking around. The snow falling in front of the camera is usually represented with happiness and exitement, so therefore the darkness around could be seen as a contrast to what will really happen in a thriller.






This picture is set in a park, in my opinion this is a good setting for a thriller opening sequence as there are many trees around which could be interpreted as somewhere that bad things can happen. As well, this park is deserted, which again can make the viewers question where people are? The camera angle used here is a wide shot, i chose this because i think it was important to get the whole scene in the photograph, including the snow and the trees.




This photo is of railings surrounding a field. I chose to include this picture as i think it shows the elements of a thriller by having the darkness in the background, and giving the viewers the chance to wonder what is beyond the railings and why your not allowed in there. Also, i think the effect of seeing bright metal rails but nothing else is interesting as it creates a dark, scared atmosphere.
