Brain storming ideas for Genre and film ideas

Ideas, ideas, ideas...

The first thing we decided needed to be completed as a team was to decide upon a genre and film idea, that we would base our opening upon. We completed this using the chalkboard wall at the back of the classroom. We then made 4 titles- Horror, Thriller, Romance and Action. These were the genres that we agreed would be easiest to complete, as Sci-fi would be expensive and we couldn't do comedy as it is hard to come up with hilarious content, which the audience would appreciate and enjoy.

Under each of our four titles we listed anything that fitted with the genre. Some of us already had ideas for parts of the narrative and so we listed these as well. Soon we ruled out Romance and Action- as Action would require fast driving (none of us have a licence) or running and Romance is soppy and hard to pull off. So we were left with Horror and Thriller!

Organ trafficking
 This was listed under the horror category and we felt that by using this we would also be making awareness of something that could happen in reality. Also this is an idea that isn't often displayed in many films as it is quite risky.

We then decide that we would have a girl (stereotypical victim- conforming to conventions) captured by a psycho who would start cutting her up and sell her organs on the black market. This idea was then developed into a dream so that she had almost pre-empted what was going to happen. Our only worry was... pulling it off effectively!
