First Group meeting
FINALLY! Today we had our group meeting and although we are all aware that allot of work needs to be done we have all come up with with out final idea. We decided to mix up my ideas with Daniels and have a mixed genre, mainly Horror but sub-genre it with thriller. We could not come to a agreement of whose idea was better to have multiple ideas/mix and match. I drew out a plan for our team so we know roughly what we want to include in the different sections of our opening clip. We wrote that maybe in the beginning we could have an establishing shot of the house outside in the night-time to show where all the horror is going to take place or maybe even an empty road, or even Daniels idea of  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3bRwB5fDFo lapses in light to show the whole area and city. In our middle most wanted to involve the main killing scene but some argued that they wanted that in the beginning with visions of body decompositions in the middle to make it different to other horrors/thrillers/Goore. We thought if we could come up with every day items to make them abnormal and scary this can contradict and play around with audiences emotions, Lord Of The Rings does this allot with the ring being a sacred treasurement  to them, in this case maybe use a plate instead of a knife and enrol the 'least expected' not only does this bring up questions but also keeps the viewers intrigued  and shocked. Simon and Daniel really like my idea of involving a radio and Daniel said that he can do more research on that and find out if his Granddad will let us borrow his. We had other suggestions that were out the box, i thought of having it based on Halloween Day this would be perfect and we could inspire from other films. Daniel planned that maybe we can record others wile they trick or treat but simon pointed out that no one comes around his area to enjoy the events which resulted to me and Daniel coming up with the same realization. We are definite with our setting in my house and cant wait to get cracking.
