During our lesson today, we went over all the possible plot
ideas, linking them to locations, actors, props and equipment that would be
needed etc. We had three initial ideas, one from each of us. The idea all of us
liked the most was my idea (also the very first post on this blog
http://studio101hna.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/blog-post.html, but we quickly
decided this was not very feasible in terms of location choice and number of
actors. Aidan and hazel then came back today with ideas of their own, Aiden’s'
including a hostage theme, and Hazels' a drug heist. We all agreed both ideas
would be perfectly do-able but we wanted something a little more original and
slightly more complicated, within reason.
After looking around school for locations, and at the
auditorium for lighting and possible use of the green screen, we were still
hanging on something better. Taken from doing a lot of research on Martin
Scorsese, I wanted the use of light to be highly significant in our opening.
Looking at the auditorium, we went through the possibilities with the lights in
there but soon decided, the stage would make the whole production look highly
unprofessional. With about half the lesson already gone, a decision needed to
be made fast as we could see we were starting to fall of schedule. I quickly
looked at a few more thriller sequences on www.artofthetitle.com trying hard to
come up with another idea. Then, thinking of both hazel and Aidan's ideas and
with inspiration from Sin City and Momento I came up with a plot which we all
agreed on and quickly became excited about. We showed the idea to Miss Hill,
who gave us some extra pointers on how to shoot it (possibly a film noir
twist). The full plot will be coming soon in another post from me!! SO EXCITED
NOW.
