The group began by listening to each individuals ideas;
* Elle thought that we could shoot some of the footage at an abandoned prison near her house.
Our group thought this was a really good idea, as the prison is the perfect isolated, grotty location for a thriller.
However the group decided this could not happen because it would be hard for the whole group to get there, as it is quite far away.
* After watching Hunted I suggested that we could have a shot with pictures of a specific girl going about her daily life, all over the mans walls.
* After that we had the idea of filming it like it looked like home footage, we got this idea from the film Blair Witch. We thought this could be effective because it can bring suspense, and make the audience feel part of the film, from their point of view.
However this became a difficulty as the audience may mistake the idea of home footage as just bad camera skills, so we have chosen not to use it.

*Robbie had the idea of calling our thriller 'Simple Pleasures' because it would not be an artificial film, we wanted our opening not to be complicated, but for it to be pleasurable and intense for the audience.
I like your idea from "Hunted" - you have to watch using a deliberate hand held camera style because the examiner may think you can't take a steady shot!!!
ReplyDeleteInstead of a girl's photographs all over a wall, it could be in a scrap book and the audience doesn't know who the scrap book belongs to. Thus your action could be the girl trying to take the scrap book after breaking into a house. A strong torch would be useful lighting. Thus you could have cuts between the girl walking towards the house and an unknown character cutting up photographs and pasting them into the scrap book then going out. A thought.
What do you mean by "artificial film"? Could you define what you mean by this.
