Main Task - Initial ideas

When we were given the brief of the main task we decided to use a mind map to get our very first thoughts and ideas onto paper. We looked into possible locations and plots and this helped us build an image of what we wanted our film to be like. The mind map was also a great tool because it let us all give our own suggestions then merge all of the best bits of these suggestions together. Finally, it let us gather opinions on potential ideas so that we could scrap the ideas that just would not work or weren't good enough.

Preliminary Task Feedback

--- It was clear that on the whole people enjoyed our task and that it met the requirements by using a variety of shots and making it original and engaging. However, there were some areas for improvement. From the feedback it was clear that we should look to improve our setting. We could of used somewhere which had more relevance to the scene, such as a basement or more isolated location, this would reflect how there was a secret and dangerous event taking place. Also, we should aim to make sure all of our shots are fluent and fit in with the general feel of the film.
