Location photos AND character mugshots

Images of the different locations used for our video:

This is an underpass in Chapelfield Gardens. It is sloped, and
well lit,  and allows a claustrophobic sensation due to the
close walls.



This image shows the inside of the underpass. It creates the
right environment for our project, but it is too short in length.








This is the second underpass we visited. We chose to use this
one, as it creates an eerie atmosphere, yet is well lit.
The ceiling is low, making the space claustrophobic.




The underpass is long enough for all the action to unfold in it.
This location is similar to the tunnel location in "The Girl With
The Dragon Tattoo" as it is a claustrophobic, modern city
underpass, and is empty giving the sense of isolation. The
way the lights reflect off the wet concrete is similar to the
way the light reflects off the tiles in the shot from "The
Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" (below) creating the same cold
feeling and further emphasizing the thriller genre.

As well as "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo", this location

has strong similarities to those from a scene from "A Touch

Of Frost".

This shot shows the same neglected city location as our 

chosen location. The wetness, graffiti, and dirtiness creates 

this effect. Also, the crime witnessed in this scene is very

similar to the crime in our thriller opening, as it is a teenage 

hoody using wheels to attack and mug a woman in an underpass.



This is the alleyway in the street that we will
use in the film. It is dark, dirty, and there is
not much space.

These shots have a similar effect as the
city of Vienna in "The Third Man". The tight
spaces, chiaroscuro lighting, concrete used by
Carol Reed creates a labyrinth effect,
exaggerating the sense of nightmare.





This is another shot of the alleyway. You can
see how the entrance to the alleyway is lit more
than the rest of it. This will help hide and
conceal Harry Cooper.



These four photos show the ATM location. We chose this
spot due to the tight street it is in. We thought this was a
good location because it emphasizes the sensation of
claustrophobia at the ATM machine, which creates the
sensation that someone is looking over your shoulder as
you're using the machine. This idea of pin number theft  is
a common fear.

We also thought that the stone brickwork and cobbles add
to the coldness of the street and mise en scene.

Character Mugshots:

This is Tom Block, playing Will Block. He is 

dressed in jeans, trainers and a hoody. This is 

to give him a threatening, thug-like appearance.

This is Emily King, playing Eve White. She

 is dressed in casual clothes: leather jacket, 

jeans, scarf and gloves. Her appearance is 

feminine. It creates an image of a vulnerable

 female. Her scarf and gloves being red in 

colour challenges the conventions of 

vulnerability.
