Response To The Group Idea

the group idea is good i feel, it is something that can be effective and realistic within the equiptment and resources we have. i think its more important to have a believable product that is done well than to have an over that top idea that you cannot execute well enough. i thinnk our idea is one that is simple but can be hard hitting if done well

Although this scene would most likely happen at night time in real life and doing it in night time will help to build tension and make it believable to the reader we have to do the film to the best of our abilities. due to this we decided to do at day time because we'll be lacking the correct lighting to make the scene affective.

in reflection i do feel we have a good concept however it is something has been done before in many different ways so we have to make sure we think of a way to portray this kidnapping in a way original and exciting to avoid viewer fatigue. this will come through the camera angles we use and the way we portray the build up to the kidnapping. A story line like this can be difficult because its one where a lot of the time the viewer can guess what the sequence is leading to however you must still film it in a way that builds tension and remains to entertain the viewer never the less. this concept being well covered in  a way is a good thing because it allows us to do a lot of research and ensure we execute this concept successfully or should i say realistically so they can believe the story and feel that fear of tension

We decided to use different camera angles ranging from POV, close ups, medium shot, medium/long, front shots, up shots and side or diagonal shots. we was all in agreement that the sequence should begin with an establishing shot to show where is was to take place.

After deciding to continue brainstorming for a theme i decided to use one element of the 1st idea but change the theme a bit. we came up with the idea that we could keep the idea of parallel travel between two people building up the a climax. as we know in an opening sequence its vital to have something that hooks the interest of the viewer, so we kept the theme of the camera views and angles in the lead up the the the main storlyline establishing finale shot. we decided to change the climax to a kidnapping

originally i came up with a storyline which we then planned. the idea was a journey of  different people going to one destination. the three journeys were to be shown simultaneously building tension as to where they were travelling and why it was so important for these people to get there before the other people did.  the plan was to have something really dramatic as opening sequences always or often have something that grips the reader in order to keep them intrested enough to continue watching. we thought we also needed something dramatic in orde to have an effective oppening sequence however we couldnt think of anything good enough that we could do within our limited props and facilities. because our genre being action/thriller is a serious one it must be made to be very realistic. we could have opted to use the tool of a cliff hanger but didnt feel we had given enough of a storyline yet for a cliff hanger to be feasable so we chose to continue brainstorming for ideas
