3 favourite ideas

The group and I came to a decision on fourfavourite ideas.

The first one was Fernando's called 'Ain't no crime in the city' which was an opening title sequence that was about theft and that was to be shot in the London underground and in an alley off of brick lane. Although we all liked the idea of the opening and the storyline, the chosen location spots were a bit too ambitious as there was no feasible way we would have been able to film in the underground or in brick lane, with out the shots being interrupted. This was an immediate problem for us.

The second idea was Monty's called 'First Punch' which followed the waking up of an ex boxer, who was clearly successful, where he receives a letter which the audience can tell is bad. We all liked the style of the shots as they were simplistic yet effective, and we also liked the way Monty wanted to present the credits as they were illustrated interestingly. However, we were worried the boxing idea was overdone and not original, and that the plot did not seem to look like a thriller. This made us rethink the plot or maybe the idea being around boxing.

The third idea was my idea, which did not have a name at this point, which was about a serial killer who had a fetish for the beauty of hair and was collecting it through these murders of women. The group liked it because of the extreme close ups I described of the victim's body being smelt, as well as the originality of the storyline. However, we were worried that the cutaways I included to add context to the characters was too similar to the other groups so we therefore would have to rethink how we would do it.

The fourth idea was another one of Fernando's ideas which was very simplistic as he had not worked on it much, but followed the storyline of a girl having her kidney's stolen. This idea was original, one of the reasons why we liked it, and the simplicity of the idea meant that we all could work on it as a collective rather than one person sticking to their idea. The only problem was that we wanted to make sure it was not a cliché.
