Ideas

I am really looking forward to filming our main task as we work so well together as a group- generating intriguing ideas which are abstract and surrealistic. A mutual agreement  decided that we should  incorporate  a mix of genres which is both challenging and diverse; different to what everyone else is doing. We also thought that we should base our ideas on the sequence that Inception exploits . Inception builds up tension  through the editing process - which i will explain about in another blog - it starts off slow and speeds up through the montage of pictures the engage the audience and make them feel tense. We then had a group discussion where we explored themes, locations, characters, camera shots and movement. We came up with the idea of a dream succession where everything is indistinct and perplexing; nothing is normal. Hannah the creator is drawing a picture of a Chucky look alike( Zoe), which comes to life in my dreams- I'm trapped . Then i wake up  and it ends with a two shot of me and the the doll as i realise that it isn't just a dream. For setting we decided that we would use the school field  and Charley's house. By doing this we can experiment with various effects. This includes adding special effects such as mist , non diegetic and diegetic sound , editing and use of different colours. For example a black and white shot would be deemed extremely effective against the other traditionally coloured shots. I had the idea of a canted angle shot which is complex but i feel it could really establish the genre of the film if we do it correctly. For example Zoe could be at a canted angle and then by adding non-diegetic sound of a click; it can transcend into a closeup. In terms of cameras we felt that unlike our peliminary task we would use a tripod as it is more efficient in terms of what we are doing.
