Right,

i like the idea of emailing questionaires because i think we should get good honest results without us pestering them.lol. i have started graphing some our results from our questioniares which we have already conducted and found that our plot is actually fitting in really well with peoples opinions of thrillers and what they would like to see.

yeah i think the link with the school as a code would be good as it would be quite easy to put across to the audience. like school uniform? badges? student cards? all options. it might be an idea to do another focus group to see what people think would work best and fit in with our plot.

i hadnt thought about putting the photos (flashbacks) as they come in the news. it could be an option. but not sure how we could make it work. would we use reporters style? i dont know where we would be able to show the murders actually happening --the destinations?

i think we should try and ask the police if they will allow us to use one of their interview rooms. it could make it very realistic. its worth a try. Ixworth police station sounds good because i dont know where the one in Bury is. at least at Ixworth we are garenteed to have police cars sitting out side to set the scene, but it mite be worth trying to find the one in Bury so we can compare.

well done Lauren for getting some actors :) i cant think who else to ask, but we will find people.

To Do List

Ok so im bored and im thinking what we need to do and what can we do that not everyone has done...

we've done some audience reasearch so need to write up our findings.. could make a questionnaire online - see if we get some more responses?

need to finalise our plot [really liking mr. m's idea about the victims all coming from the same school - some kind of revenge.. ]

and are the photos of the victims at the crime scene or the ones they show on the news?

then im sure issy will want 2 redo our storyboard about 7 more times so it's neat enough :P [love u issy ]

then we need 2 decide on a location [are we seriously going 2 ask 2 use a real interview room? cant see them letting us..? and are we still using ixworth police station? ]

obviously then we can get filming.. then the fun really starts

also somewhere in ther we need 2 write those essays.. find actors [besides the immense chadler and dom who we have now officially shot gunned so nerr 2 any1 else that wanted them].. decide on music.. oh not much then..

dont i feel better 4 writing that all down..

[check out all the little faces.. not just a pretty face am i lol ]

*Star Performances*

Just 2 let issy and justine know.. Dom said he'll be in our film, but can he please be a girl? lol Gonna ask Chadler but im sure he'l say yes!

so yeah atleast we've got the best actors :)

very impressed with our focus group.. was very constructive ;)

Woo I Figured It Out!

aww its justine and issy :D

miss helped me and issy figure this thing out (thanks miss :D) so thought id copy and paste the stuff i wrote..

really need peoples help and ideas - any input would be great!!

just thought id outline our ideas so far.. even though it isnt a lot and we are clearly behind every1 else! (we need 2 get r buts in gear girlies lol)

ok so basicly we want 2 start with an establishing shot of a police station - thinking about using the 1 in ixworth.. mainly because we dont know where the one in bury is...then cut to an interview room with the conventional light hanging from the ceiling, ect with main character and detective.

story board explains the next bit much better but basicly we will have a birds eye view show of the desk as the photo of each victim is shown 2 the main character. each picture will then trigger a *flashback* of the victim being murdered..we are trying 2 figure out what the link between the victims will be. any thoughts on this would be much appreciated.. we want it 2 be quite subtle so the audience dont guess it immediately, but not 2 difficult 2 understand so the viewers understand it at the end. you know, one of those kick yourself moments when u think "why didnt i think of that" (classic thriller)

any way that will do for now.. hopefully il figure out how 2 get on 2 the blog bit eventually and il copy and paste this into a post lol

YAY finally managed to sort out this blog!! Sorry Lauren and Issy the background and stuff is a bit rubbish but u can change it all minor details. We have now conduced questionaires which have given us an insight as to what the audience is looking for in a Thirller. This has helped us brainstorm many ideas which enabled us to come up with an outline of our possible plot.
