Thinking of ideas

for our short film opening we threw out many ideas and ways which we could create a awesome opening which would look like a professional one and that audiences would be able to understand. our sub-genre we chose on was supernatural/psychological thriller which we thought we be the best choice.

for our original idea we said we should hold it in a forest or abandoned building one of our group member pointed out that she new a place which was abandoned years ago and was used as an old train station we believed this to be perfect and we slowly tried to build an opening to that idea.

we didn't come to a conclusion on which plan to go with so we decided we should watch some student videos and think some more about it. i then suggested that we say things that scare us the most and we should use it, so for example i said places which are dark and secluded and some of my other members suggested things like blood and other gory stuff.






i then decided that we were spending too much time just thinking and that we should spend some time doing some actually research so we spent a lot of time looking at other student trailers and how they were able to come up with their ideas and portray them. we then saw a video which resembled some of the ideas we had and we all came to the conclusion that our idea should be based around a forest and a girl.

we still have to some up of the specifics of the idea but we have a general overview of it.
