Alternative Ideas

Atko's idea: Kidulthood based.-It would be set in school so it would be easy to film. With a death which causes a decision for the character.

Jimbob's idea: Scary Movie based - Taking the mick out of some horror films. Well known horror films so the audience can pick it up easily.

Storyboard Progress

We have done a few more sections on our storyboard and on our brainstorm which gives us the basic format of what our film is going to be like. We are about halfway through finishing off our planning.

The hills have eyes

His outfit and looks are of a stereotypical hillbilly and generally a shifty character. Also in his house it is dark, this contributes to the general feel of him being a bad character. The reactions of the other characters to him makes him seem as if he has an effect on the other characters adding to the tension of the piece. The opening sequence consists of a lot of close ups concentrating on a petrol station in the desert, the main focus being around parts of the area that look run down and untidy. Some shots that we mite steal from this film is the number of close ups on certain obects in the scene to create a good mood and atmosphere
