Our Thriller Opening is set in only two locations: Holkham beach on the Norfolk Coast and a terraced house in the centre of Norwich.We chose Holkham beach in particular because it is visually effective as it is a very striking landscape, it has also been used in previous films such as Shakespeare In Love. Further reasons to use a beach in our opening is that, especially in winter, it is a very isolated setting. Moreover, beaches and coastlines connote natural danger and disaster. Also, beaches can be perceived as the edge of the world because you can't walk any further. This is why our protagonist walks to the beach after the tradgedy of her family's death.
We decided to use an average terraced house to emphasise the girl's nomality and to portray the girls background. This will make clearer to the audience that she is not the stereotypical drug taker and that she has been sucked into this world.

you could also talk about specific points in the house like the stairs that are conventional of thrillers.
