Mise en Scene - Location
Whilst looking at a wide variety of teaser trailers for our specific genre being ‘Thriller’ we noticed that the location throughout was very similar, either being located in a designated/mysterious area, inside and out of an housing/apartment estate, abroad, Police station, Motor vehicles and even in the outdoors.
Therefore keeping all the following above as key concepts, this will give us a greater insight of the kind of location that will be more suitable for our trailer.
Numerous teaser trailers particularly caught our eye such as 'Taken' since being about a ex-soldier trying to find his kidnapped daughter abroad, it had so much scenery throughout. Paris being a main location scene within 'Taken' shows us this is where the daughter went on vacation, to then being mysteriously kidnapped. Us as the audience know 'Paris' as being the capital of France, symbolic for love and romance not for being brutally kidnapped, showing a bit of contrast. So by including a well known location and changing what there symbolicly known for, really makes the genre more intense to watch and to interact with.
Whereas the 'Gone Baby Gone' trailer has several sections at the beginning where its filmed within a ordinary family house, starting from the front gate, into the house to then ending up in the 'kidnapped' little girls room. The family housing location looks like its placed in a friendly, normal environment where inside the house it consists of basic cream walls, doors, storage spaces etc throughout the main corridor, even in the little girls room she has a pink duvet, cream walls as any other normal, basic house would have.
As a group though we had to decide what kind of location will be easy to travel to, be able to use the location for filming and be time sufficient, therefore we thought we would try and keep the location local to us so that we can film within our school free periods and after school.
Since we need a designated area in the outdoors we thought using 'Wickford Memorial Park' would be a great a location since then we could film our child character playing within the park on the swings etc but then behind the park we noticed lots of trees and a forest, which was what we had in mind.
Below are the different photos captured of our location.
The photo's captured of our location, set within a empty forest and park adds a sense of lose and isolation which is reflected in our film.

Great ideas Elizabeth, clear reference to existing texts and effective analysis of conventions to develop your own production effectively.
