Location Reports

Broomfield Park

Address:
Broomfield Lodge
Broomfield Avenue
London
N13 4JQ‎

Sound problems could be traffic as we our filming late at night and it could be very busy.

We have chosen this park because it has the best settings for our film. The playground is not a far distance from were we are mainly shooting as well. We are not shooting in the playground, because of child protection laws, but we are going to have a few snapshots to set the scene for our thriller movie.

The reason we picked Broomfield Park as our location for our thriller film is because it has enough open space which is very convenient for our thriller opening, as our thriller opening requires enough space because we have to film people running.It also has a pathway next to the bench which is good as it will help create tension for the audience when the actors are walking through the park. It helps the audience also focus on them walking. It also has trees in the background which are very eerie when it is dark. There is a playground in this park also which is why we chose it as it has swings and a merry-go-round for our camera shots.

Questionnaire Analysis

Do you know the difference between thriller and horror movies?
50% of our target age group said that they were able to recognise the difference between thriller and horror movies. However, 40%, which is a high percentage, are not able to recognise the difference. So to make our opening good, we'll make it clear that it's an thriller opening by using codes and conventions, i.e. non-diegetic, creepy music but nothing like violence or heads being thrown around the screen because that's more of a horror convention.

Do you enjoy ambiguity or giveaway plot lines?
80% of our target audience claimed to preferring ambiguity plot lines. This makes it easier for us as it's a thriller opening and it will be more interesting when it keeps the audience at the edge of their seats.
