Gathering Ideas

Today, we watched an animatic to gain an clear view of what we will have to produce, we also watched several case studies of others work to understand how our work is expected to be and to gather some ideas of how we want to set out our production.
Today my group and I decided that we are going to produce a crime thriller as we feel it is a very interesting type of thriller and felt that we had more creative ideas for this type than what we had for the others.We decided that we wanted it to be set in the 1920's as we felt this would be very interesting and felt that we could produce this to the best of our ability, from this we came up with some ideas for the location and these were a hotel, a basement, a car park, an office, a boiler room or a graveyard, we decided on these as we feel it would create a good scene for tension. However although we have a few ideas for the location we would prefer it to be set in a boiler room or basement. We also came up with some ideas of how we wanted to produce our production.
As we have decided on a 1920's theme we have each been assigned a role which is to carry out research on specific areas from this time, theseroles were:
Researching the cotton club and Bugzy Malone which is to be done by Maria.
Women in the 1920's and how they were represented which is to be done by Chantelle.
Men in the 1920's and how they acted e.g Being a gangster which is to be done by me.
How people dressed in the 1920's which is to be done by Maya.
Shortly after this we bgan to storyboard our ideas in order to produce a clear understandin of how our production will be fimed, we are also doing this so that we are then ready to make our animatic in the next lesson.
Finally we were given a production unit sheet to ensure we keep on track of what we are meant to be doing and to make sure we keep to deadlines.
