Brainstorming Ideas

When given a brief to film an opening sequence of a film, there are many aspects to consider. Before deciding upon a story, the genre was something to get agree upon. As a group we felt horror would be perfect. I find it the concept of horror interesting in the sense of playing with people’s imagination can be far more effective than what is shown on the screen.

Ideas discussed

·         Times sequence- Juxtaposition of time sequence, morning and afternoon

·         Home and Hell-  Heavy contrast between the home and the attack

·         Filming styles- Point of view shots from attacker and self recording from main characters

·         Couple as main characters- Romance broken

·         Title- ‘Cupid’ instead of creating romance it’s breaking up couples

·         Church or Forest- location for attack as they are isolated

·         Season- Winter, as emphasizes contrast between home and attack
·                  Production team-  who would take control of what
