We decided that we would film our thriller in three main areas. Firstly, we would begin inside a house as our main character wakes up, then he moves into a park, by a road and finally our main location Bedfords Park. As you can see, here is a few locational shots on site as we're filming:
Inside the house:
The house was a perfect start for our thriller because it establishes our main characters home and how it has changed since the death of his brother (our props show this).

Inside the park:
We chose to have our main character walking and sprinting through the park because it is symbolic of his freedom after coming home from his military base in Iraq, also it establishes the area where he lives to make it clear to the audience later on in the film.
By the road:
We had an idea in our heads what the road scene would be like but when it came to filming, we had some issues. We wanted our main character (Jack) to walk straight across the road with cars just missing him, but of course that causes serious health and safety risks. We thought this would give the effect that he doesn't care about life and he has only one thing on his mind. Revenge.
Bedfords Park:
Bedfords Park was a good place to film in our eyes because it shows how lonely and isolated our main character is, but juxtaposing this with the theme of freedom because he is now free do do whatever he wants.

These scenery shots foreshadow an event that will happen in the city, which is emphasised by the over the shoulder shot of Jack looking out towards the city holding his gun.
