Our Filming Location

For our thriller piece, we had managed to get an un-used psychiatric ward in Adenbrookes hospital which was the perfect setting for our media thriller, which revolved around patient in a psychiatric ward. Having previously seen the ward, our media decided to build or animatic around the location and it's settings.

Unfortunately, Adenbrookes became contaminated by the winter vomiting virus and were told by the college that going to Adenbrookes to film would not be a good idea. As a group, we decided to take our teachers advice and not put our health at risk and try and find another location to film our media. This proved to be very difficult as we were literally told on our day of filming our thriller that Adenbrookes is out of bounds to all student from the college. We then had to try to find a new location to film for filming that fits the criteria of our media, and the only places we could think of was a corridor in our college and te college's first aid room.

Due to this, our thriller piece has not been up to the standard it would have been had we been able to film in Adenbrookes. Setting all else aside, with the facilities and location on offer in such a short space of time, we made the best use of what we had to work with and not all hope is lost. We had the difficult challenge of trying to get an ordinary college corridor with students in all the classrooms along the corridor to look like a psychiatric ward full of the mentally unstable.

The pictures below are what we had to work with and try to make look like a hospital ward.
