Location Evaluation


All of our film is going to be shot in and around the Norwich Train Station, an old, dark building making it a typically generic thriller setting. We will be using the front of the building and the inside as it is extremely unglamorous. Our thriller will be shot in the evening, again making sure we have generic thriller signifiers in the film. Although we are shooting in the evening when it will be dark, we will make sure that the footage is visible and that no part of our film is unclear.

We have previously been to the train station and made sure that the areas we are using to film are well lit.



This is where the main part of our film will be shot. As it's going to be dark, hopefully the lights in the train station won't be too bright which could make our film seem unrealistic and more like a home movie.

Also look at shots from "Brief Encounter" on youtube. Though not a thriller a splendid example of a noir film with effective use of railway station and all the connotations about leaving and departing easily readable.

Your stills of Norwich Station indicate a stylish Victorian building with a very sleek and modernised interior.

You need to photograph shots which reflect the seedier areas of the station i.e. the platform area where the cromer, Lowestoft and Yarmouth trains depart from. This would indicate knowledge and understanding of generic (thriller) locations.

Your comments must relate to the photographs!!!!
