BIG CHANGE!- Deciding to re-shoot and start new project!

OUTBREAK

After a lesson where we sat down as a class to watch each others rough edits and got feed back from the class, me and Rachel weren't confident that our filming and editing would get us a decent grade we want. We think that this filming wouldn't achieve what we wanted because we didn't think about camera angles and positions were in enough detail to portray the story the way we wanted to in the first place. Due to this, we thought it would be better for us to re-film all of it as we have enough time and slightly change the story from getting infected from a cat scratch to getting infected from poisonous liquid. We decided to do this as we thought about how adventurous the previous idea was and how people may not understand what we were trying to achieve by being a bit different and unique with our story. However we are keeping to the lines of the same sub-genre of medical thriller as we think this is completely different to any other ideas but we think just changing some of the aspects such as the type of infection and different settings will appeal more the the target audience and helps the audience to understand more of the storyline we were trying to show.

New Idea:

The new idea is again still in the sub-genre of Medical thriller however we followed a slightly different route:

• Instead of cat scratch infection, it's a poisonous liquid infection. We thought this was more mature and professional also we beleive that audiences will understand the characters and storyline better.
• Instead of setting it in a 'student house' which we beleive wasn't obvious to the audience in the first place, we made it a school/forest setting. We want to do this to reach out to the target audience more and make the opening sequence more understandable than the previous one. We want the opening sequence to leave the audience with a few questions but we found that when we watched opening sequences from popular thriller films where hardly information was given to the audience, that we were a bit confused and we would of prefered a little bit more information for us to question such as 'what's going to happen next?' etc.
  
• Change of the main characters: Before we had 2 main female characters but we decided in this story line that a male and female of late teenage years would be more suitable as we wouldn't make the relationship between the 2 characters obvious so this would be another question for the audience to ask themselves making them want to know what happens in the 'rest of the film'.

We think that these changes will help us gain the grade we want because we think this story will be more mature in our unique ideas and will make the audience understand more.
