Thriller Planning: First Update

Setting:

St Andrews Car Park:

We chose this car park for several reasons:

• It is located in Norwich which is an easy place for every member of our group to access
• We scripted a car in our scenes which makes it a realistic place for a person to be parking
• There was a nearby lift that could be used 
• It has some lighting so it was possible to film even after-hours during 

The lighting was absolutely ideal as the nearby street lamps were quite modern and cast a white glow over the mise en scene which gave the floor and nearby objects a slick, shiny glow - reminiscent of film noir.

It was important to film during the evening hours for several reasons:

• This area can be busy in the afternoon which would dis-interpolate our audience 
• The darkness helps create a more film noir ambience
• Later in the day is usually a more convenient time to film

Costumes:

Shot from our film

• The main characters are wearing relatively formal attire which connotes wealth
• The main male character is wearing a suit jacket, shirt and hat combination which is typical for thrillers and film noir in particular and helps to establish a sense of professionalism and power. It is also an archetypal costume for professional criminals in thrillers which will make first time viewers question their role in the narrative.
