Brainstorming

We decided to expand on our thriller genre idea, with an aim to establish a title, possible location and actors as well as building a story line.

The brainstorm

1. Is it practical?
     - Yes as we are shooting in a location that is a 2 minute walk from Sams house which we can use as a base. We are also using actors/actresses from within the group as it is alot more convinient as we know that we will be comitted to shooting when we want to. Only one of the roles requires some skill in acting, and this role is played by Lewi who does drama AS.

2. Is it an idea that works to the strengths of the group?
     - Yes, we have all had experience in shooting and editting before. Some of us have also had acting experience.

3. Will it show off the skills you have learnt so far on the course?
     - Yes, we will be using what we have learnt about shooting, editting and continuity from our prelim task. We will also be appllying the Todorov's theory of equillibrium, where the equillibrium is disrupted by the two men carrying the dead body.

4. Is it something you can reasonably shoot and edit in the time available?
     - Yes, it isn't a very complicated plot and dosent require any extensive editting.

5. Can you get access/ permission to shoot in the chosen location at the chosen times?
     - Yes, we are shooting in a public park open for anyone.

6. Can you organise lighting to use in that location?
     - This is our biggest problem as it will be dark when we shoot, we will have to have lots of different lights sources, or shoot when it's slightly lgihter.

7. Have you included dialogue? If so, will it work to shoot conversation in that location?
     - The only dialogue will be added in after we shoot, so you won't actually see anyone talking.

8. Do you have guaranteed high quality reliable actors to play the characters?
     - Yes, Lewi has agreed to act for us which is uselful because he does drama A-level.
