First Location – Brentwood Industrial Estate

For the first day of filming and for the start of our thriller our group and Alex Wright went to Brentwood Industrial estate to shoot our first shots of the thriller. We immediately found a great place to start filming; a small car park in front of a disused warehouse which had been boarded up and had smashed windows. This provided us with the perfect setting to start filming. The warehouse is supposed to be the location of a poker game but obviously the warehouse is supposed to look like it is all done up inside with the perfect facility for playing poker. In our thriller we have tried to portray “The Boss” as a proliferant gangster. As the warehouse looks very abandoned and smashed up with broken windows and glass everywhere, it was very helpful to us portraying  the character of “The Boss”. As the industrial estate is quite large we did have some trouble with cars which Scott found out about quickly. Other shots we took were just outside the Car park and onto a road which leads through, then out, of the industrial estate. Another shot we took was at the bottom of the location; a walkway to a busy road. This was another good spot to carry on our chase scene, however we made sure to be carefull of the cars. The last location in the industrial estate we used was a small wood just behind the warehouses. This was a good place to film as we could show that Jason (played by Scott) had escaped the bouncers which were chasing him. The woods made Jason look very vulnerable because it looks like he has nowhere to run to, which was shown as Ian or Derek catches him unexpectedly.


This Industrial estate is where we filmed.
