Location - Phone Box

My group of Me, Ed, Tom and Ben have each been assigned a task to write about. My task is location. We have chosen to film in Thorpe Marriott as it is fairly local, especially for Me, Alex and Ben. We know the area well and we know that we can make the most of the surroundings.

Our opening will be filmed in Thorpe Marriott, and we will be using the telephone box located next to the local park. Our main character will be seen inside the telephone box and the evil character will be seen in the background, across the road standing next to a tree.

If you follow this link then you will see the location of the phone box. We are planning to have Ed standing on the left side of the road, which will mean that he will be in the background of the shot. The location of the phone box is perfect as it is on a long road, so we can film Alex walking down towards the phone box, and this will make the audience feel isolated as there will be little people around.


Our character will then be filmed walking towards his house and we will film some parts of his journey. Some of the places which our character will be seen walking is down Marriots Way, Pendlesham Rise and Kingswood Avenue, all in Thorpe Marriott.

Our character will then approach his house. The house we are using is Ben Shaws house, which is located in Drayton. Our character will then enter the house
and we will shoot some footage of him in some of the rooms of the house. The final scene of our film will be in Ben's house.

  1. Good link to the map page. It would be useful for you to make comparisons to thriller films you have studied, as well as mentioning the conventions in your post.
