New ideas.

Film changes

Whilst having a talk to Miss foster on Friday our group have had discussions to change parts of our film and then add a new story line. We've been thinking about our film and the criteria says an opening to a film. Looking back on our story line so far our film adds most of the gore and horror it he first two minutes leaving no cliffhanger or tension to add. If our film was getting marketed you wouldn't want to watch this as most of the excitement is in the opening!
However we are still going to keep our footage but just add more to keep the story line going and making people want to watch it.
Miss foster mentioned having a serial killer so the story goes on. Like that in 'Se7ev' when the seven sins are carried out and the police find out its a serial killer. This film is probably one of the best films I've seen making me want to watch it again; this is how people should feel about our film, but at the moment you see everything and so no suspense is left.
One of our group members Danielle is moving house soon and we seen this as a disadvantage, however now we've realised this can be added as a whole new twist in our extract and be used to our advantage.

The idea is to have the 'next' victim moved house because she's worried. (this will be after previous killings) and various shots of the house in boxes. As we can have access to Danielle's new house it will be empty. We're going to have the next victim sitting in a corner rocking with a high angle shot to show he weakness and vunerabilty. The density for the shot will be very plain and bare to emphasise she's moved house and the fact she's scared.

Costumes.

The girl will also be in white to portray innocence with a possible item of clothing which stands out in red to portray danger maybe. Miss Foster was saying to us to maybe have police in our film to carry on the story so it looks like there looking into a murder case. However as our budget is low we cannot afford various costumes so will have to economise with black trousers and white shirt, maybe a police badge and hat.
Another effect we were discussing was having chunks of blonde hair in the previous bath death with blood on it. Then we decided for the previous victims add a memorial form each victim and stick it to each article in his layer to show he's proud of his work. Like that in se7ev when the police find his layer.
Althought the killer is the main protagonist in the fim were not to sure if we should see him again after the first killing.
Following on from the blonde hair idea we then thought of having all the victims blonde so this will create tension if the film was to be produced as audience's would narrow down the victims and be scared for every blonde girl. We just thought this would be an effective principle in our film.

These idea are early days, but tomorrow we will have a group discussion to plan out the next sequence and storyboard it!
