Psycho
Recently at school our whole class sat together to watch Alfred Hitchcock's most famous slasher thriller 'Psycho'. I had previously seen the film so the twists were not a shock to me, however because we had been studying thrillers i took more notice of the slow build and fall's in tension and the excellence of the music. It was really interesting to listen to everyone guess what was going to happen and then be completely shocked when they found out the truth.
Psycho is an excellent example of a thriller, having a brilliant storyline and outrageous twists.

Finding location:Part 2
The next location that we needed was the house/bathroom. We all considered our own houses, however none of them were right as we are quite specific on how we want the setting to be. We wanted the bathroom to be the perfect size with quite an old fashioned bathroom.
Rachel came up with the idea to use her friends bathroom as it fits the brief.

Finding location:Part 1
We need two locations for our opening. The first location need to be a park where we begin with the protagonist smoking a cigarette. Our group decided to go out during a free period to check out a few possible locations in the area.
Golders Hill Park
Golders hill park is the nearest park to out school. The park is mostly a hill with lots of trees and sculptures, there is also a zoo there. We liked this park, however we thought the vibe wasn't quite right as it is usually quite busy and we wanted it to be more of an open space for a more eerie feel, whereas this park has a lot going on.
Heath Extension
The Heath Extension is a much more quiet part of Hamstead heath. It has big open empty spaces which gives that Eerie feel that we are looking for.
We decided that the heath extension was the perfect location. We found a bench which is perfect for what we were looking for also it is easily accessible as it is near to school and all of our houses. We will aim to shoot it on a cold frosty day which will be the perfect atmosphere for our opening, hopefully there will also be some mist.
