Change Of Plot

Change of plot

Due to different reasons we have collectively decided that our original plan is to be changed, hopefully this will make our opening two minutes more successful and slightly easier to construct. Our original plan was that our protagonist was taken while on her run by the antagonist, however we believe this would prove difficult because it would give away too much information in the opening two minutes, which disrupts the generic stereotypes of the film world. Our original plan also included longer shots and more mainstream shot types, we felt this was not pushing ourselves as far as we would have liked to, so instead we have changed to shorter and quicker shots, involving a lot of cuts from one location of the antagonist to the other location of our protagonist running. We felt that having match on action displayed a lot and lots of small cuts from each scene meant that the tension would increase rapidly because limited information would be displayed. We believe this is key to creating a successful opening two minutes because generally in the first two minutes, little information is revealed. Another part of our original plot which we changed is the aspect of having an investigating team, we felt having more characters would make the opening two minutes too cramped and rushed, it was also proving difficult to film all the separate scenes at the different locations, one being an office which is a private location and it would disrupt the workers. Another change which we felt was necessary was the ideology of the antagonist being presented as a creepy, paedophillic male, we are planning on doing this through him breaking in to a house where the protagonist lives, and snooping round the home, picking up personal objects of the victim and pursuing a creepy manor with these objects. We will then shoot them both in the same room and our opening scene will hopefully end on the girl in a dangerous position with the male in a closed area, leaving the audience thinking what is going to happen to this girl and what the male wants.
