Meeting 1


For our first preproduction meeting, on making an opening to a thriller, we decided to talk about any ideas that we had, and this is what we came up with:


Richard put forward an idea that he had been thinking about it was to film a sunset over a flat rural area, this would be to show the isolation of the area.
Another idea that we had was maybe filming some people moving in a city and then to speed it up. Also to have a person moving though the people, very slowly though so that he can stand out, this would be to show the persons abandonment from the world. I came up with the idea of having the sound of a heart beat matching his footsteps as this would help build up tension.


After a few ideas we decided to make the genre thriller and horror, we believed that this would be the most suitable genre for our film as most of the ideas that we came up with where for the conventions of a horror and thriller. We then came up with more ideas for this:


We had an idea that maybe a character had visions of an arm with blood dripping down.
For the plot of the film we thought maybe of a modern jack the ripper story.
For the location we thought maybe isolated area in Norfolk or maybe in a multi story car park.
We thought that the maybe the first person that the killer kills might be a hitchhiker.
We then thought of a person who has a broken down car in the middle on nowhere.
We also thought of putting in a twist at the beginning. We thought of a person that we would make out to be the main character in the beginning and then later would turn out to be the victim of the killer.
The killer may have a signature to his crime i.e symbol, weapon of choice.
