Bloodshot - Characters & Location

Location
We had three main locations for our opening scene all around the same are so that we didn't need to take all our equipment too far.

The first location that we used was toton sidings near the park and near james' house. It was used for the main character walking up through the path as if it were a normal day. We used the forest type look because it looked slightly creepy and adds to the effect of the thriller genre. The weather on the day was very gloomy and dull which I think added to the effect of being eerie, so the atmosphere on the day worked well and we were very lucky it did not rain. Pathetic fallacy is used because of the weather to foreshadow everything bad that happens later.

A second location we used was the outside of James' house, used for the main character to walk into a home and make it look like a normal everyday scene. It was useful that James' house was close to Toton sidings because it made our filming quicker as we did not have far to travel from the two locations. It was also easier to use James' house because we used his living room as a main part of the opening, this gave it good continuity.

Finally we used James' front room as a main part for the main character coming home from a long day out shopping.

It is cosy and homey room that looks perfect for the characters house because it's nothing fancy.

Actor/Actress playing the role: I, myself agreed to play the role as Lindsay and I hop e I will be okay with portraying the role. I haven't had too much drama experience but I think I can cleverly show the characteristics that have to come through within the acting for the character of Sarah Davis.
