The Estate

The House

Location Information

the main two locations are the estate streets for the running scenes and inside a house for the party shots.




The estate- The estate is situated in Anerley and is a series of flats connected by bridges and a foot path that runs through the whole of the estate. The estate has an urbanized look and at the same time doesn't look like a typical estate. The weather at this time of the year will add to the feel of the opening by making the estate look damp and dark.

The House- The house is a normal house located next to the estate meaning that we can move easily from the estate to the house. The front room and the stairs is where we need to film for our shots.

Target Audience for our thriller


For thriller films the target audience usually ranges from 16-25 year olds and are usually aimed at older men. However our thriller is going to be aimed at a younger crowd from the age of 15. We have also aimed our thriller at both men and women, so our thriller appeals to more people. We have used all teen actors so that we achieve our aim of a younger target audience, as other teens can watch and relate to the movie. Our thriller is quite modern and deals with the story of a troubled teen. We have gone against the usual target audience of older men as we want our film to appeal to a wider audience.

Character Information

For our three minute opening of our thriller we have chosen to focus on one primary character, Ben. The reason for this is that the rest of the characters are seen in groups, the party goers and the group of boys, and this gives the main character a sense of isolation.

Ben- A mysterious character aged 17 who has had some sort of personal trauma in the events leading up to the opening scene because of this he is left socially awkward and unable to relate to his former friends and party goers.

Party Goers- A group of college aged students who are at the party. Drunk, under the influence, smoking and so on. One person is in a bunny suit and others are in a state of madness.

Rude Boys- A group of boys on the estate that the party is set. All wear the same type of clothing and just sterotypes
