Short Film Locations - Callum Horncastle

Now that we've decided on a thriller based on Jack the Ripper, we can look at some effective filming location to ensure the film is as powerful as possible.
In our first day of planning, we have already came up with some really good locations, which we we will go onto research.


Our first suggested location, is for the Police Department offices.
Thankfully, Sofia's father runs his own business and has an office building, which he has generously offered for us to use for the film.
We will visit the office to look for filming angles and good shots at a later point.



Another suggestion, for suspense and murder scenes, are the lanes in Brighton.
These confined alleyways are absolutely perfect for a spooky, dark setting, especially if we film at dusk.

            

With Brighton in mind, we also had the idea of using the Brighton Pier as a location, perhaps having a murder victim underneath the pier?

Another very good idea, for our climatic ending, is the back of The Magpie House in Reigate.
This was the same location we used for Shadow Shot during the AS Coursework.
The area is large and there is plenty of dark areas to create a thrilling tension filled scene.
Having worked there for a long duration of time, I know that this location works well at any time of day, due to the confinement of the tall buildings blocking out the sun, and if there is rain, it still creates a dark effect.
