6 Minute Challenge - Reflection on Ideas

6 Minute Challenge

Film Title: 'If I Had Eyes'
Genre: Horror/Thriller

How easy was it to come up with ideas?
Once we had been given our location and prop, we started to put forward a surprisingly large number of ideas. They happened to all be based within the genre of horror or thriller so this was carried through the rest of the process. We then thought about how easy each idea might be to film and whether we would face any limitations if this became our final idea. Once we had thought about that, it was very clear which idea we were going to continue to use and as they were all incredibly similar, no one was disappointed either.

How easy was it to decide how to open a film with a title sequence for you idea?
This task was a little more challenging as the suggestions put forward were not as similar as they had been before. However, when thinking about the conventions of our chosen genre (horror/thriller hybrid) we decided that the title sequence should include and create lots of enigmas to be solved later in the film. We also drew inspiration from the title sequence of thriller film 'Se7en', as this directly linked to our prop as it was a letter.

In the end, I think our final decision was a combination of different ideas and also served the purpose we had originally set out for the title sequence to achieve.

How successful do you think your idea was? Why?
