Locations

The aim of this task was to find a mixture of locations that could be used for a particular genre of film. The three genres were Thriller, Romantic Comedy and Action Adventure. Below are some images of the locations I found.

Thriller

I believed these images could be for a thriller film because the settings are very old and look slightly ‘broken’. This could therefore suggest it is quite a scary place and people are worried about what I going to happen there. The first image is in a park and it displays quite a dark pathway through the trees which indicates that there could be something scary beyond. Then the brick work has lots of plants growing on it which highlights how it is not very well kept and nobody really goes there this could therefore create a thrill to know what’s beyond. The second image is also in the park but highlights the steps. The way the tree is in the image suggests that the setting is hiding something. All the brick work is different colours meaning it is very old and worn. Then the final image is probably my favourite location for thriller. I took this photo in Nonsuch park and I feel it is a good setting because it has the benches making it appear quite normal but then to the side there is an old gate door. This gives a sense of worry and anxiety because nobody knows what is behind there.

 

 

Romantic Comedy

Romantic Comedy was an interesting one to find because it needed to display a nice setting but have a meaning behind it. The first image I took at Hampton court. I believe this is a good location because it has the walkway leading up to the fountain and then the trees surrounding.  This looks like a nice location to go for a walk together as a couple which therefore highlights the romantic part. However it could also display comedy if perhaps they had an argument and the woman pushed the man in. This would entertain the audience and make them laugh.

The second image I took at Southampton Harbour. This is a very peaceful setting which is nice for couples to relax and enjoy each others company with the amazing view. Perhaps one of them could drop something into the harbour by accident or maybe a man is taking a girl out on a date and provides her with a lovely location but ends up dropping things and messing it up. This could add humour because he keeps doing things wrong but could also portray sympathy for him. The audience will enjoy watching he mess up but also feel sorry for him at the same time.

 

The final image I took at Nonsuch park. This captures a lovely walkway leading up to the Manson. This is a setting which expresses romance where a couple could walk through the archway and enjoy their time together. Or it could be used to highlight  a couple that haven’t seen each other in ages and have one person running from on end of the walkway and the other person at the other end. Then one of them could fall over portraying that humour.

 Action Adventure

Action Adventure could be a mixture of things from sports activities to the daily challenges in life. One location was this beach. This displays the rough waves which people could surf on. This highlights adventure because are being brave and trying something new. Also it could be a difficult sport and people are challenging themselves.

 

The second image is in London of the London Eye. This portrays a new adventure that people go on to discover London and see all the different parts to it. This could be a scary adventure for some because they may be scared of heights and it is a chance for them to overcome their fear. However others may like the feeling they get when they are right at the top feeling on top of the world.

 

This image was also taken in London and portrays the adventure of travelling around. London is always very busy and it conveys how much traffic there is but also the amount of taxis and the famous red buses. It portrays the hustle and bustle of London and all the action that’s goes on. This setting could be used to highlight a persons journey through London.
