Thriller Location Ideas

Opening:

By using a figure on one of the pictures I took of my location, I am able to show how I would want the start of my thriller opening to me. The idea would be someone running through the woods. It's hard to show this with a 2D image but I hope that the idea comes across. I would also like to have close ups of the running in various camera angles.

For this second video I had the idea for the runner to come from the trees and become out of focus so that the idea is less obvious yet it still helps tell the plot of a thriller. In this video it shows that idea that I want to get across yet there still could be tweaking as the transitions aren't as smooth as I hoped. 

Although it may be hard to see but this video shows a long shot idea in which the runner runs from the left side of the wood and the right side of the wood. It would also help to show a low angle shot of the runner in between so that my opening has variety.

More Thriller Locations

To take to these pictures I went inside my chosen location which was at the back of Brands Hatch. I used my iPhone to take these pictures and chose various different camera angles that showed my selected location. I used a filter again to darken my images to show the genre that these images are for. I believe the location that I chose is suitable as a thriller location because it consists of mystery and contains a contrast of lighting.

For my thriller opening I'd like to try out different ideas. For example, I'd like to do various shots with the runner in the background. This picture below with a tree in focus is an interesting shot because it shows rule of thirds.
