Brainstorming our ideas

Ideas

After we were put into our teams, we had to decide what film genre we would make.Firstly we came up with  4 main genre we thought of doing, these were Romantic, Horror,, Thriller or action.We then decided to brainstorm our ideas our ideas for each genre. below is a picture of our brainstorm.

We thought very carefully which genre we were going to do, as we wanted our film opening to be as effective as possible. When thinking about making a romantic film we thought about how we could convincingly portray this in our opening 2 minutes, we concluded from all our combined thoughts that it would be difficult to make a romantic film opening. We also concluded that action would be difficult to create as we were thinking along the lines of police chase and this would have been impossible for us to make. This then left us with the Thriller and horror genre. we had similar ideas around both these genres and we came up with either a kidnapping in the woods or organ trafficking. after a lot of thinking and discussion we came to the agreement of organ trafficking as we thought about previous horror films we had seen or heard about and found that the woods in used quite a lot in this genre and we wanted to be different and unique.

We knew from the start that organ trafficking would be a risk, we wanted the opening of our film to look and feel as realistic as possible and we wanted to pull it off effectively. Therefore we knew that we would have to focus very hard in pre- production to make it as effective as we could. 

Furthermore we thought ahead to our casting and how we would do it so it would be effective as possible, casting will be discussed in a later blog post..

I was very pleased with our idea of our film opening, once we got our initial ideas i could really see it coming together. One thing i was worried about however, was if we could make it look as realistic and effective as possible, as there are not many organ trafficking films been made so i was afraid of how we would do this, but we talked about this and decided all we had to do is plan our film well, stick to the horror conventions and watch horror films and this will be our guiding point to go from.
