Location 1

The Office;

We are going to use this business office located in Watton for the first part of the opening of our thriller. We will use props and lighting to make the office appear a film noir style detectives office. The big wooden desk covered in in various documents works really well to make it appear a police office. The office we have created is similair to locations seen in films such as Casino Royale and The Third Man. It is claustrophobic and enigmatic which compliments our story line and theme perfectly. The mounds of work suggest to the audience that our main character (Ted Lived) is a busy man, devoted to his job who has little time to do anything but work, it also hints at a dark side of him as his work is not neat in his office, it is sort of like an area of mess and destruction which pre-empts the role he will play in the film. 

We have made a folder to imitate a confidential police folder with images of a young girl attached to the top. The images of her are those that she doesn't know have been taken. This will make the audience wonder if his intentions are to protect her like a detective should or whether they are darker than that. Also placed on the desk is a passport and a map, this suggests that Ted travels, whether that's strictly business or for darker deeds, the audience will not know. This adds to the enigma of the storyline and our main character. 

Within the office is a filing cabinet which Ted will walk over to and get out the document. This is a typical piece of furniture featured in a police style office which make the location more realistic and believable in our thriller opening. Again the office appears similar to those featured in Casino Royale. It also suggests to the audience a feeling of secrecy, as within the filing cabinets are confidential documents. This highlights that Ted has an important, high class role in society as he is trusted with such secret documents.
