1. L0CATION 102
Thriller opening sequence

2. How many locations do we have?
• We are planning to shoot in two different locations
• Peaslake house – we are using a corridor to film the
part when the patients are transported from their
rooms to the operation room
• The studio at school – here we are going to construct
a room which is going to be the operation theatre. Still
shots of this room will be shown at the beginning and
at the end there will be a shot of the whole room.
Linking the beginning and the end of the sequence.

3. Potential issues
• Both locations are inside so weather will
not be a problem
• However we have not visited the Peaslake
site so we don’t know it is completely right,
but Issy lives there and thinks it is suitable

4. Timing
• We will need to split our day between the two
locations.
• The bulk of the sequence will be shots in the
Peaslake corridor so we will spend more time
there
• The studio will need more planning time as
we have to construct a room we like. Once it
is set up the filming time should be short.

5. Where are the locations?
• Peaslake house – Lawbrook Lane,
Peaslake, GU5 9QW
• Studio at school – Hurtwood House, RH5
6NU
Peaslake House
Studio at
school

6. How will we get there?
• We will get to Peaslake by minibus with
our actors and our camera equipment.
• We will get back on a minibus and then set
up in the studio and film.

7. Why these locations?
• We wanted a long, slightly creepy corridor to
film. We want this to create a suspenseful
atmosphere in our sequence, Issy thinks that
Peaslake will be an appropiate place to film
• We are using the studio so we can create our
own dirty scary operation theatre
• We will be building a door frame to enter

8. Permission to film?
I sent this email to the housemaster of
Peaslake, Adam Grant. Asking for
permission to film in his house.
