Possible Thriller Settings


1: The setting for number 1 would be ideal for a thriller opening as it looks very scary and a very unnappealing alley. However, alleys are needed by people to access their garages, so i could have somebody trying to access their garage, and then them disappearing into the blackness of the alley. This would make the audience want to keep viewing, as they would assume he has been mudered.

2. The Second picture is very interesting as the board shows that it is a nature reserve, however it does not look appealing at all, and nature reserves are meant to attract people and meant to make people want to go there. Usually nature reserves attract elderly people and families, however this does not look attractive to either category, so nobody would want to go there.
-
3. This picture does not look very attractive to anybody, which is contrasting the fact that there is a sign saying 'pedestrians'. This is a very strange way to advertise a public footpath as it is very dimly lit, and it does not look appealing at all. Even though it iss dimly lit, the pedestrian sign still shows up, which is revealing that it is meant to be seen. Also the strange orange square seems to glow on the sign, which is very strange.
-
4. This picture would be a very good setting for a thriller movie as there is a random gate in the middle of a bush, which seems to be leading to nowhere, this could be interpreted by the audience as the gateway to hell, as all you can see on the other side is blackness and forestry. Also, the fact that it is a very dull,brown and not very well looked after fence suggests that whatever is behind it, no one wants to know. Also, the gate seems to be blocked by a load of bushes and un looked after plants, which could be protecting whatever's behind the gate.
-
5. This picture is probably one of the best ones i took as it looks like a very threatening place to be in. The danger of death sign goes very nicely with the barbed wire positioned on top of the fence. This portrays that whatever is behind the fence is hidden for a reason and nobody is meant to go there. Also the graffiti on the fence is also showing that the area is uncared for, this ould be a perfect setting, as nobody knows or cares what happens in this area, so anything could go on.
-
6. This picture is interesting as it looks like the tree is trying to escape to the left, this could be because there is something dangerous on the other side, or something is forcing it to lean left. Also all the branches on the tree are coming out of the left side, again reitterating the point that it's trying to get away from the right hand side.
-
7. This picture is appropriate for a thriller setting, as it's very dark and looks eerie as you look across the park, also if you look closely, you can see the head of a couple of gravestones. The reason you can only see the head, is maybe due to the fact that they are being sucked into the ground, and that they are trying to escape it's claws and reaching for the sky. Contrasting heaven and hell.
-
8. The giant black gate in this picture suggests that something behind it could be very dangerous, as the big gates are preventing it from getting out, or escaping. Or even that the giant gates are there to protect something from the people getting to it, the fact that they are so tall and thick suggests whatever is behind it, may be very big or strong, or both
-
9. These 2 pillars are very strange as they seem to be standing isolated however we know that they are connected by a fence. The use of the pillars suggests whatevers behind the pillars is behind the pillars for a good reason. Also because there's 2 pillars, it may suggest the fence or wall carries on outside of the frame, maybe segregating a certain area or thing.
