In half term, Bea and I went to Southbank to take photos for ideas of where we would ideally like to film the opening of our thriller. The main attraction of the Southbank Centre is that it has many different aspects to it which is what we really require as in the narrative of our thriller, our main girl will be going for an early morning run through the city and so Southbank will be able to provide many different backdrops.
To make our main character stand out from the rest of the scene, we also wanted to incorporate lots of colour as our plan for the costume is going to be quite grey and dark. This makes the Southbank Centre perfect as it contains a number of bright colours in between buildings as well as quite drab, concrete buildings.
A lot of the main colours come from stairways around different parts of the Centre, which I think is also very good as it means we can incorporate interesting shots using the height of the stairs.
We would also really like to incorporate shots of landmarks of London to make it clear of where the setting is and also to make our character seem quite detached from her surroundings.
The river is also going to be of huge use to us as we would like the surroundings of our character to be constantly moving so we would probably be filming on Saturdays at Southbank to include lots of people so it is very busy around her when she pauses from her run.
We also took a number of pictures of grungier/bleaker areas of Southbank Centre as we would like it to look quite depressing to match the mood of our character.
