Charring Cross, located in the heart of London, will be featured in our film opening as the establishing shot/location of the film. It is a busy area, which gets a lot of human traffic as people pass through. This helps create the feeling of Isolation for our citizen character, yet, seem the norm as it's often a part of Londoner's commute. Below is a screenshot taken from Google Maps to show the location and surrounding area of Piccadilly Circus:
I've marked the actual area of Piccadilly circus in green, highlighting the area in which we'd film our establishing shot of the opening
Location 2 - Alley way
Ormand Yard, Central London. This is the location of the climax of our thriller. This alleyway is quiet enough as to not disturb anyone, yet still has the noise and look as if it were in a busy part of London
Contingency Location - Alley
We filmed a Contingency recce in the occasion that we run into troubles when filming our original Thriller location. This would be somewhere that we believe we wouldn't run into the troubles that stopped us from using our first location. For this, we decided somewhere closer would be better. We chose our local town, Dartford.
This would also be the site of the final scene from our film opening. It still has the industrial, gritty look of our original location. This site also has little needed in the way of management, and will be quick and easy to film at. Here is a screenshot on Google Maps of the possible area we could use:
This area highlighted in red is the area we could use. However, we'd have to consider a fair amount if we used this site as a local market can cause high traffic in this alley, which is unwanted as this is the death scene and isn't meant to cause any suspicion. This of course, must be mentioned in our risk assessment
Level 4 excellent
