Initial Ideas Brainstorm

Group Brainstorm of Initial Ideas

As soon as we initiated our coursework groups, we decided to have a discussion brainstorming any ideas we have in mind for our film opening.

We quickly and easily came to a group decision that our film was going to be a Horror film, as we all thought this would be the best way to input our creativity into stage production, lighting and makeup. However, we are yet to decide on a sub-genre of horror. 

In our discussion we ran through any sub-genres we had in mind, verbally listing the pros and cons of each. We also exchanged any ideas of locations to use in our opening, and how we could go about obtaining access to these locations. Below is a brief summary of our discussion which I made as we spoke. I managed to make a note of the key points we discussed, however inevitably I missed out some of the finer details of our conversation. 

How was this useful?

As a group we found this initial brainstorming task particularly useful as we were able to gain a deeper understanding of each other's creative thought processes. Although not included in the mind map, we had a discussion about which roles in the project would suit us best. We said that we would aim to each attempt all the different aspects of the production process, but we established that Caera has already developed skills in stage makeup, Tibet has prior knowledge of the editing process and Ruby and I would be best suited to direct and initiate creative ideas. We also discussed who would be best at acting in the scene - and Tibet volunteered as the person would feel most confident at playing a villainous role.

This initial discussion also gave us confidence in the sense that we knew we had many realistic ideas, which also motivated us to get started with our blog and project.
