Discussing ideas with media teachers

Yesterday we have spoken to Matt about the three ideas my group and I have prepared.  Going to the editing suite, where the discussion was held, we were prepared for our ideas to get scraped down all together but the meeting went better then we thought it would. Although Matt didn’t like the opening sequence of “The Act”, he thought it was too theatrical and too similar to the “Awolnation” music clip, also he suggested that Emma’s idea about a psychopath wont be terrifying or thrilling enough due to the non-originality of the plot, Matt liked the idea of “Taped”.  He liked a lot the idea of knowing something about the specific events that the others are not familiar with which was the running theme in the Taped. Though the idea of CCTV is not realistic due to it filming so slow and that it will slow down the chase and the thrill the chase would have brought. So it was crucial for us to modify it. In the future lessons we will be discussing what kind of the event will be happening in the sequence. Seb and I came up with the idea of an alien invasion that a regular guy in the car was viewing and had the chance to film. In order for our opening sequence not to look foolish, we thought that we could portray the alien invasion with the use of white light exposing like in the Awolnation Sail music video. On Monday, Emma, Seb and I will discuss other ideas for the opening sequences that we will be able to present the following week to the media teachers.
