CHANGE IN IDEA EXPLAINED POST

Our original idea was to film a party scene where a boy takes a new physcotic drug and the camera zooms in to his eyes deep in to his eyes to discover demonds taking over his brain.

We pitched this idea to the members of staff and they felt that it would be difficult to make our idea look the way we wanted it too. We then came across many complications such as 

• not finding enough actors for the party scene that would be available all day to make it look realistic like there was a party actually happening.
• The party scene would have to take place somewhere realistic such as a house and getting all the actors there and back would be difficult.
• Finding the make up and costume to make the demonds extremely real and planning where and what they would be doing and for how long
• The difficult panning shots through the eye and swooping through the scene of the party would take longer then what we had (a day to film)

We then decided on another idea with the same sort of theme. Set in a mental hospital in the late 1990s a pan through a long corridor in to a mental patients room where we see them in a cold and clinical environment, the camera swoops around zooming up the patients body and again going in to his mind to see the demonds taking over his brain and controlling him. With the same sort of idea this faced many complications such as:

• Finding vintage props and costume to fit the era
• building a set to look realistic enough
• finding a corridor to match the set or the difficulty of building one
• finding a male actor who had the skills to act but also look realistic and not to young
• the demonds: what they were doing and how we would film them
• building a bed

We then decided on the idea that we have now to keep the same amount of gripping tension we were aiming for in the first two but an idea that was a lot more simple: A woman in her early 30s working for MI5 in a high powered job is working in her house alone when a man breaks in and is trying to rob secret information off her, we subverted the stereotype to turn the man in to the victim as she is well prepared hiding all valuable informationn such as her laptop, files etc so she eventually wins the fight leaving the man vulnerable. We wanted to keep our audience gripped but also shock them with something unexpected. With this idea came little complication as we needed few actors, we didn't need to build a set and we could find particular props and costumes easily.
