Here are several shots of the final location we have decided on using, which is the old Norfolk and Norwich Hospital which has recently been made into apartments. We decided to scrap the idea of using the railway as there would be many difficulties with filming, such as having to buy many tickets for the trains to enable us to get enought shots, the trouble with having lots of other people around and trying to film a scene with a knife in a public place.
As you can see by the photos I have included, this new location is perfect for filming a thriller as it has a underground car park, a staircase, lift and long narrow corridors. The car park will be used as our woman character; Betty locks up her car and walks towards
these corridors reflect the ones used in the film The Shining. Although this is a slasher film, the techniques they use often have thriller aspects within them. For example these modern corridors (which in The Shining were new at the time) use the convention of having no where to escape to as they look like they go on forever.

I'd suggest you add to this post by identifying the thriller texts which have inspired your location ideas - this will improve you grade.
