Location

The location which we will be filming our thriller opening titles at is a house located in the centre of Bourne. Bourne is a small town in Lincolnshire which contains two secondary schools. This is important because our thriller is about a teenage girl who is around the age of 17 and would attend schools like this. This proves that our location is a believable one which our character would live in. The house is a Victorian style and this adds character to the location. It has dark corners and is not perfectly lit which is useful because the style of our thriller opening titles is dark and atmospheric. The house is also "lived in" which means the set for a normal family home is already present. 

The location was chosen because it is relevant to the story line. The story is about a teenage girl who is home alone when she hears sounds coming from upstairs. When she goes upstairs, she finds a girl in the corner of her bedroom who is rocking back and forth and is a mirror image of herself. The house we have chosen to film at is lived in by a teenage girl which means the bedroom is already there to be filmed in and only alterations we need to make is the part of the bedroom which the alter-ego has destroyed with blood and magazines. This location is typical of the thriller genre as it relates to our characters and it is a realistic setting as it is a home environment. the representational ideas that this characters about the character is that she is a normal teenage girl who lives in a normal house and home environment.
