PLANNING: Opening Film Brain Storming

Once I established who I was working alongside in today's lesson, we began discussing and sharing a variety of ideas for our AS Foundation Production and we agreed to do a thriller/drama genre of film. Without hesitation we opted to do a film surrounded around a stalker-like theme, but the stalker will be played by an Ex-Detective. Once we had discovered the brief ideas we began to think in detail.

Nonetheless, we wanted to find some influence from a real life event and after looking at previous newspaper headers from years ago we decided to choose the Madeline McCann story; however, we will alter the idea to our own edition and interpretation so that the film will be unique to us. Furthermore, we began to look into a few scenes which will feature, things like location and cast came up as well. Fortunately, we have suitable age members to imitate some of the Madeline McCann story and we have access to various locations which are useful. Our interpretation of the Madeline McCann story will be a present day or future version of her when she is a teenager.

In the story we thought of locations and key ideas such as:

• Pub
• Camper Van
• Abandoned bedroom 
• Use of polaroid images
