Group initial idea's

As a group we have built up all of our individual idea’s and interlinked them together, for the past three lessons we have managed to combine all of our own idea’s ,and successfully managed to develop them as one big group idea. Developing our initial ideas has helped us as a group discuss and express how we feel we are progressing with the production of the film, we also started to discuss our ideas about our film as a whole, film names, production names, the narrative and the target audience.

We have used several different methods to show our initial ideas such as a bullet point narrative, story board and a mind map; all three of these methods have helped us in different ways to develop our final production. Planning a narrative was one of the very first things we did as a group, this is because we needed a narrative to create a story board to show the story line from beginning to end. We also each made a spider diagram and then shared ideas, to produce a basic outline of our final idea for the film. We thought about other horror films that could influence us and give us motivation for our filming. Our main film that we have chosen to influence us is ‘jeeper’s creepers’ this is because our sub title is going to be gore and we all felt that this film supports our sub genre well.

After gathering several thoughts together we knew that we had to get them all down on paper to then create a story board, we are now going to be creating a gant chart and focusing on our storyboard for the group so we know who was doing what including dates and times, to make sure this is fair. Also as a group we came up with several intial ideas for film names such as:

• Lesson Learnt
• Body Shop
• Death Report
• Flashback

We feel this names are all appropriate for our film as the all fit in with the story line well, as a group we have also been discussing team names and we came up with the name KingsFord productions as it means something to the entire group.
