Deciding Our Film Story

Deciding Our Film Story

Originally I wanted to do a film within the Horror Comedy genre, taking inspiration from films like Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, but as a group we thought it would be tricky to create a successful film within this genre due to the drastic change of emotions which would be difficult to portray and we would need to use professional actors. Also the special effects would be hard to get right and no one in my group has any previous experience of special effects make up so we would have to find someone who could do this for us. We thought about making a sci-fi moive like The Twilight zone, but also thought this would be a difficult genre to get right as it would be hard to find the right location for it and would require a lot of different actors. A few people in my group had seen the film Into the Wild and really enjoy it, this led us to the idea of creating a film in this genre. We decided that it would be a much easier genre to film in and we could make a much more successful film. A film in this genre would only require one actor, I knew of locations near my house which I thought would be perfect, we would need few props. The only thing we had to be careful of was not making the film look cheesy. Monica and Shaila wrote the story which was approved by our group. Then we began filming.
