From my location research, the location we chose suits our genre very well. The graffiti on the walls de notate crime telling us a bit about the past of the place, which shows that bad things have been present. The graffiti gives off connotations of danger and shows the audience that our location is a crime genre. Many thriller/crime films have used similar signifiers to their locations as ours. Also forests/alleys ways are seen to be the most popular set as it gives off a risky feel to the audience, also the audience will be expecting something bad to happen.
The natural dark lighting is also more popular in thriller/crime genres, this is because no one is around. The forest at night gives us a very different impression when in a film, to when filming in daytime. Forest/parks are seen as a place to relax and enjoy early in the morning, where animals and other creatures come out and also the sunset on the river gives the film a more safer environment.
However, we chose to film at almost pitch
black using light from the camera, this allows the bright clothes of the victim to stand out, leaving the audience to wonder what will happen to her being alone in this dark place. The location could also relate to the killer's split personality, the forest/river is seen as a more innocent/happy place to be at around mornings, but in contrast is seen as rather evil/severe later in the evening. So perhaps the killer has a good/bad side, but our biggest aim is for our target audience to capture the cruel side of him and give off bad surroundings.
