Planning Ideas: Project One

Murder

·         Inspiration:

·         Party Idea but set up to look like a murder

o   Main Idea:

Using what we have learnt from “Love Field” we would take the plot twist idea and use that within our own film. A murder is a party not a birth in our plan however.

Here we can see the twist before and after:

o   Positive

§  Easy to make a “trashed” setting to suggest a struggle.

§  Not make settings needed, filming is easier.

§  We have worked with thriller conventions so it would be easier for us to revert to working with them again.

§  Easy to find a usable location.

§  Will allow us to use a variety of shot types for good reason. E.g. Close Ups and long shots which will be good for showing our framing skills.

Examples:

       o   Negative

§  Have to film it all at once otherwise there will be continuity errors.

§  Lots of preparation.

§  Hard to establish it was a party rather than a murder at the end (the twist).

§  It will be difficult to show what we need to show without giving too much away.

§  Could be hard to get smooth dolly shots on the ground outside.
