Thriller settings for opening sequence

A train station  would be suitable to film the opening sequence of a Thriller. This is because at night it becomes a creepy place to be due to the loud noises and then the sudden silence. Trains can also capture you and take you places that you may not want to go. The trains can also drop off people who are members of the public and who may be violent. A disadvantage  of filming here would be the danger of falling down onto the tracks or finding a time when the station is free.  

An open field/park would be a good place to film an opening sequence of a Thriller due to the big open space. It would be a hard place for the victim to get away from and there would be no where to hide. It also means that the weather will incorporate mood of the piece. For instance, if it was raining then the mood created could be frustrating. A negative about filming in a outdoor open space could be the weather. If it was pouring down with rain than the equipment may get trashed and if it was a sunny day then the mood could be ruined.     

A bathroom could be a good place to film a Thriller opening sequence due to the danger of slipping and sliding in the shower. It is also a danger hazard and many objects could be used to damage a person. A negative of filming in a bathroom could be the use of space.
