Location

We have a couple if different locations for our thriller opening. The first of which is the graveyard that we will use when the man is laying flowers. We understand that this could be a bit cliche but it would be the only location we could use that would create the story and the atmosphere that we want. we want the audience to understand that someone has died but not the circumstance in which it happened and we thought that a graveyard would be the best way to do this as it is not intrusive like a church would be.

another location that will be appearing a couple of times is the room in which we see the man sitting. this room would be dark and empty. we thought that maybe a small classroom could be used for this if any furniture could be removed as this would be easier than using a room at a house full of furniture. the room will be empty to represent a sense of isolation but also give an eeriness too the scene and make the audience question where he is and why he is there.
the last location we will be using is a coffee shop. the girls will be sitting in here while the man is watching them. we decided to use a coffee shop as it is a usual place for teenagers to meet and teenagers could relate to coming here. but by also using a public place it makes the stalking situation seem more dangerous as they are surrounded by strangers.
