Preparation for Next Time

Based on our discussions for our initial ideas, my group and I are going to organise ourselves with more research into our ideas for development and carry on getting lots of inspiration. To achieve a successful, effective opening sequence we need to carry out and investigate into a lot of information and research for particular details used, for instance, I am going to research into possible mazes, as location is a key feature and element to our thriller. From carrying out research, this will allow me to consider alternatives for our location, as we will be fully prepared if there is no access to a maze, therefore I will also research into woods or buildings to create the same effect. I will also collectively gather information on possible cast we could use. Similarly, for preparation I will continue to consider ideas for sound possibilities, for instance, I will find sound effects of the wind howling or the intensive music that will appear throughout our thriller. I will also appreciate the use of silence in our thriller at times, as ‘silence can be the most powerful scream.’


From recalling all possible drawbacks, I
know I need to carrying out research in preparation for next time, therefore I will find information on possibilities for mazes and contact them as soon as possible, for instance, either 'Hampton Court' or 'Hever Castle'. I will also research, how far away they are and availability, etc. Similarly, I will also research into mirrors and lanterns and find out the most appropriate beneficial costings, weight, size and shapes, either found on websites of 'home base, ikea, eBay' or 'amazon' to be prepared. From researching into mirrors, it has automatically led me onto developing ideas to cover the mirror, for instance, using cobwebs or painting the mirror with a gloomy spray.
