Over these two lessons we researched the opening titles and scenes to numerous movies and programmes that had relations to each of our ideas.

This powerpoint presentation is the presention we presented to the class. It shows our four main ideas and the research that we presented to the class. From the response we received from the class, I think that the zombie film was the most popular.

After producing a slightly more comical piece for our preliminary task, many students in the class suggested that they’d rather we created a more serious piece. Because of this we chose the zombie style film. We have chosen this because if we get it right, it will be very effective. The drawbacks were that it would require alot of cast and also each member would need a lot of work to look the part. Futhermore, we will need to find a quiete street that would no cause disruption to any residents.

After assessing this idea, we, as a group, decided that it wouldn’t work as well as other potential ideas. We then came up with the idea of a news report about someone who had escaped from a local mental asylum, then a girl in her house, watching T.V gets attacked by the male. I feel that this could be more effective than the zombie idea and also much simpler as we wouldn’t need to worry about finding many zombies all with makeup and costume etc.

We then requestioned the students to hear their views on this new idea and it revieved positive feedback. Therefore we concluded that this would be the final idea for our piece.
