The first time our group got together we looked at what we was going to call ourselves. We eventually chose to go with Perception films, this was because our idea was to using an eye in our ident and perception is to see something. As well as that we then talked about what our film was going to be about and what sort of thing we wanted to have in it. Our initial ideas were to have a few jump scares and have a lot of tension in the opening but we had to change as that would have been to much like a horror and we are doing a thriller. We then looked at what sort of actors we wanted in the film and what roles they would play in our film. The whole school kids theme really stuck out to us as we knew people who could play the parts and it would be a good target audience for us. As a team I think we worked really well and listened to everybody's ideas. Some things we disagreed with but we figured them out and eventually agreed an overall plan to move forward.
What did people in the group contribute?
Well to answer this question I would say that we all contributed certain factors and added to other people ideas to make them even better.
Ben - I thought of the texting element to the film. The idea was that some one is texting one of the characters and then when they leave the room the audience see a text saying "Im coming for you" or something along them lines. This creates tension for the audience.
Rhea - Rhea originally wanted to have the whole school kids idea in the film. As you could have a young couple involved. We liked this idea and wanted to expand on it. Rhea also gave us the idea of using her nan and grandads house for filming as it has a seller that we could use to build more tension in our film.
Sam G - Sam's idea was to have the bang involved to add a lot of tension to the film opening. He thought that the bang wouldn't make it to much like a horror and keep it as a thriller. He also contributed when we spoke about the plans to move on.
