This document discusses location analysis for a film project. The author filmed scenes on the edge of the small town of Maltby, using its rural and forested areas to suggest the central character feels out of place. Additional filming took place in the city of Sheffield to show large crowds and crime, contrasting with Maltby to make the character seem alone and helpless. Cities are commonly used in crime genre films as their environments are relatable to audiences.
2. This is one locations I used on the edge of a
small town/ village called Maltby. I used this
area as it’s quite rural with some areas of
forest, to suggest that perhaps the central
character is out of place.
It might create the effect of horror as the
audience may feel that the character will not
be able to escape.
This rural setting is juxtaposed with the more
urban city scape that is shown in the opening
establishing shot.
3. Another area I did some filming was the city of
Sheffield to show amount of people and crime
that occur in a city.
Cities are often used in crime genre films as they
are relatable for people so that they engage to a
greater extent with the location.
The city scape contrasts with Maltby suggesting
the character is out of place, alone and maybe
helpless?
