Account of the research sources

In order to help us develop our initial idea we consulted a range of existing texts in order to observe their use of camera, sound, lighting, music, atmosphere , narrative ideas , casting etc...

OCD-

The main idea for our sequence is based on OCD, therefore I looked on google, and researched the facts and sources.

We found that these are the symtoms -


-Thoughts, images, or impulses that occur over and over again and feel out of the person's control.
-The person does not want to have these ideas.
-He or she finds them disturbing and unwanted, and usually know that they don't make sense.
-They come with uncomfortable feelings, such as fear, disgust, doubt, or a feeling that things have to be done in a way that is "just right."
-They take a lot of time and get in the way of important activities the person values.

We related the treatment issues of why he is in the clinic to how people really get treated for OCD.

Getting professional help is the best way to deal with OCD. Treatment can help you to gain control over your obsessions and to stop carrying out compulsions. Treatment may include psychological treatments, medicines or a combination of these.

Initial production group meeting & discussion of draft idea

Our initial idea discussed the possibility of a narative that ivolved around the concept of a child killer. Specific images that were discussed included.

- lady behind bars( in prison)
- Child behind cot bars
- Child and knife
- blood scene with child ontop of parents
- parents both killed

These initial images/concepts were discussed in order to begin to build a basic frame work upon which to base the idea/concepts. This was very much a draft concept that required significant extra work before being able to begin planning and storyboarding etc. However the idea it was important to make it look orthentic and employed the conventions of the genre(generating suspense towards the audience)

Acount of giving presentations for possible thriller ideas

We pictched ideas for prep on possible ideas for our thriller , which we then had to do a presentation in class to show our ideas and then our class would vote on which they liked best so that we had 3 final ideas for our groups. We had to include an acount of who our target audience was, and what kind of instition would make our film. My idea was of a posessed woman visiting a family member at a grave yard from her near by church, which had dead people awakening behind her from the background running towards her with blood filled faces and ghostly faces. Background noises are quite from the begining, with the sound of crunched leaves as she walks towards the graves, and then screams when she is sat down at the grave.

Another idea was of a distressed child on a camping trip with his classmates. Walking round the forest waiting for one of his classmates to come out, however his type of playing games were to do with death, so the whole idea was he was trying to kill his friends. In the background there would of been childen running round screaming with blood on there faces and bodies.


After this we had to vote on everyones ideas and come up with the 3 best ones.
