Shooting Locations


Norwich train station is going to be the location of our opening scene and first few shots, when the character, Joules, will be stepping off of the train and walking through the station carrying the briefcase until he reaches the exit, looks at his watch and the scene transition is made to Christian in his car.

We decided to use the trainstation as we unanimously decided that this would be a good setting for the opening scene of a thriller. Our reasons behind this decision are that trains and stations are well-recognised generic thriller signifiers, which we feel will consequently set the scene for the rest of the film. Also, train stations have been used as settings in numerous other thriller films and shows such as textual references like 'London to Brighton' directed by paul andrew williams, as shown below.

  1. ....Our reasons behind this decision are that trains and stations are well-recognised ..
    Too generalised, you must support your point here with reference to specific thriller texts. Generalisations like this devaluate your points, beware of this.

    This this garbled and your point very losely referenced. Also capital letters for people's names please!!!! Could you make your point more clearly Ben.
