Planning- Google Maps Location

 Maps Locations-  We decided to use google maps, in order to locate our precise settings within the film. This allowed us to view our settings, from an overall perspective, giving us the opportunity to view the atmosphere from all different angles.  We have used a variety of location, in order to engage the audience, so that they are more aware of what locations are associated with each scenery.

This is the first location that we used in our psychological thriller. The image shown above is Danika's house. This scene introduces our antagonist, at the beginning of the thriller; where Danika is having thoughtful reflections regarding the fight with her friends. This scene is likely the most important, as it was used for many different shots. This included the crossing out of the girls faces, Lily and Mia worrying about Jane, and Danika being presented outside of the window. The scenery was effective because the look of the house is urban, showing that is modern with current societies.  This is important as it allowed us to engage with our target audience more efficiently.

This is the second location that we used in our psychological thriller. We used this scene in order to create our flashback. During our editing process, we decided to turn this clip into black and white; for a more dramatic, aged look. We decided to use this scene for our flashback because its very suspicious and isolated looking. This scene help us to create the tense feeling that we wanted, as on the day that we filmed it was snowing. This added extra effects to this scenery, as the weather conditions acted in contrast with Danika's inner emotions. This also allowed us to create pathetic fallacy, in terms of what was going to happen next, regarding the girls near futures.

Finally, this is the most juiciest scene that we decided to use, as this is where most of the actions really takes place. The google image shows the park scenery that we used to represent vulnerability and death. We chose to google map this place, as we really wanted to get a real feel of how the scene would be effective, regarding the audience responses. This scene represented the killers main motives, and her ambitions to kill her ex best friend. The park was a good place to film these scenes as it is a very secluded area, being safe for the killer, so that she can carry out the act without the fear of being caught.

In conclusion, google maps have secured our viewpoints regarding our chosen settings, as through comparing and analysing which parts we would film in the different scenery's, this is helped us to make an overall judgement, regarding our choices. These setting really helped us to create the tension that we initially wanted in our two minute introduction.
