Locations to film We will be filming down this alley way as Boots is down there and we need to use the product placement and as it is dark and dingy which provides the perfect backdrop to create suspense to show someone following Ryan.

We will be filming the scene with Ryan at the cemetery here. We will make sure we do a recee and risk assess it before shooting as well as making sure we do not invade anyone's privacy if they are there grieving.

The majority of the film will be here with him buying flowers and the follower being constantly in shot creating suspense and creating dramatic irony, a typical convention of psychological thrillers.
