The location we selected to film our thriller sequence in was Richmond Park. We chose this particular location because it was extremely spacious and open, which expressed an isolated and spooky landscape, thus defining our film as a thriller as it meets the key conventions of the genre . Also, because Richmond Park is so vast, we searched for the perfect area to shoot in and discovered a large hill deep into the park and close to it was a small forest with towering, skinny, bare trees, which created an eerie and intimidating atmosphere. Furthermore, our sequence was filmed in the late afternoon and the golden, twilight lighting that emerged through the branches of the trees created tension within our footage and added a mysterious ambience due to the tall shadows they would create upon the muddy, woodland floor. All of this contributed to the desolate and eerie mise-en-scene our group aimed to capture and the photos shown in the blog post below clearly portray this.
