Possible Location For Flashback Murder Scene









Here are some images I took earlier of a possible location I feel would be good for the flashback murder scene, since our scene will not be too graphic (I.E the audience will only see the aftermath as opposed to the actual killing) I think this wont cause any disturbances from people walking by. The final two images I have edited with an app on my phone, I know this will probably not show up on camera however I just wanted to show it (it could be good as some sort of promotional poster, although this will probably not be developed).

Strengths
There are many strengths to this location, firstly shopping centres are incredibly close so access to food and drink will be very easy for anyone who requires it. Throughout the area there are many parts which have graffiti and very dark imagery which could be interpreted as something else such as the 7th image which could look like bloodied hand prints, this should help create a dark atmosphere towards the audience and make them feel anticipated for the murder which is about to happen. There are also many tiles across the walls which are loose thus creating a dreary and uncertain atmosphere. Overall I feel this would be an almost perfect place for our project as it creates a variety of relevant atmospheres, there is also a link to other classic crime films as I found that films like Psycho and Casino Royale all have death scenes in bathrooms and since this area has a layout similar to a bathroom it could allow us to link to these films when talking about the sequence in more depth once the project is complete.

Weaknesses
Unfortunately there are a few weaknesses and threats towards this area, the most notable and lucrative one is the fact that a reasonable amount of people use this tunnel in order to get to the supermarkets (as mentioned before), this means there is a possibility that people could get in the way whilst we are filming and there is also a risk that they could get disturbed about us using this area for a murder scene, even though the actual murder (in our case via stabbing) will not be shown and will only be alluded to.

Conclusion
Me, Barry and Katie still need to discuss other potential places and areas however I think I will be pushing for us to use this area as the shear amount of strengths I feel outweigh the weaknesses. However, as stated before we still need to discuss other areas.
