Location Research

This is at the end of my front garden where there is little lighting. This creates a sinister atmosphere and perhaps conveys a destructive character as the plant pot has been knocked over. The colours are dull (brown and dark green) which means it is a natural picture.
The fact that this picture is very overcrowded around the outside of the frame with the gap in the middle which could represent an exit for the character or an entrance where danger can approach from. This is also a dark picture which means that the character in the thriller is perhaps vulnerable and can not see what is coming.
This is a plant pot that is situated by my front door, I thought it would make a good photo that could be in a thriller movie as the plant is dead and makes the atmosphere more melancholy. This shot could also be used in other genres of movies- which could represent sadness and times of grievance for characters.
This relates to many thriller films as most characters are attacked while they are in the shower, for example 'Psycho'. The fact that the shower is turned on with water flowing could perhaps show that the character was dragged from the shower before they were able to turn it off and escape.
The shot is taken from my bedroom window which is why it is taken from a higher position. It doesn't angle down meaning that it is not a high angle shot. The fact that the tree doesn't have any leaves on- means it is getting to the winter months. The colours all go together really well.
This is a shot that I created in my bedroom. I think it is an effective shot as it is made from simple items that have been thrown together in an interesting way. The coat stands out as it is a totally different colour from the rest of the items on the bed.
This is a simple shot with everyday objects that have been randomly thrown together in a bathroom sink. The fact that this is an everday object shows that the character can be a bit of a mess and perhaps do not take care.

This is a photo of a cupboard that is crammed with junk and things that are unimportant. This could maybe represent a character of the thriller genre as being untidy and perhaps clumsy with his work that he carries out. The fact that a number of the items are not important to the character could show he has priorities in his life and some things just get put to the bottom of the pile- maybe being a killer is more important than going to work and earning money.
