Initial ideas mind map and genre ideas

When we were first presented with briefs we made a couple of mood boards on different genres to see what initial ideas people had for different genres and what conventions we associated with them. It also gave us a chance to look at other films from that genre and see if we thought we could make something similar that fitted with the conventions of the genre. We chose to look at a rural comedy and a psychological thriller. Luckily both of these briefs indicated that they were to be made by low budget institutions which is good for us as we knew we wouldn't have a high budget.

Below are our mood boards

After thinking about these mood boards we decided to go with the psychological thriller, as a group we then mind mapped ideas for our opening and our whole film. We knew that these probably wouldn't be the ideas we went with in the end and our film would look alot different but we thought at least if we had initial ideas and knew how as a group we wanted the film to look like we could build it up using components from these mind maps.
