Decisions and Revisions C
Since our first draft, we’ve changed our idea a lot.
• Our first draft was a thriller on a girl
who had schizophrenia who thought
she was possessed. However, our
feedback told us to take out
schizophrenia as it was too
complicated and sent out the wrong
message about the mental illness.
• So, in our second draft we removed the mental
illness and make the character actually be
possessed by demons and spirits who kidnaps
innocent victims. Then again, our feedback told us
it was to complicated and too much. We were told
to either focus on possession or kidnap, or change
the genre. Also our locations were unreliable and
just not very flexible.

8. Kaya & Sanel
Decisions and Revisions C
Therefore, as a group we decided to
come up with a completely new idea.
Kaya, Sanel and Rahel all wrote their
own opening sequence and one got
picked to be the one we develop as it
suited our target audience and as a
group we felt it would be best in However, the ending of our new opening
connecting with them. So, we have sequence about drugs was confusing and
now changed to drama, starting all didn’t match, so, Kaya and Sanel met up as
our genre research from scratch. the others in our group couldn’t and
discussed and revised on many different
ways on ending it after thoroughly
researching the drug our character took.
Also making very interesting and
captivating for our audience.
Making these changes helped us greatly because we fully understand and we fully research the
things we’re doing, revised our locations thoroughly and its a lot less complicated than our
other drafts helping us explain it better to our target audience to receive the best feedback we
can.

9. Kaya & Sanel
D
Genre – Drama
• Our genre has changed because all of our thriller ideas were to
complicated for our audience and sent out the wrong message.
• However we changed to drama as we felt its more effective and
real for our target audience.
• We all agreed that doing a drama would be the best genre for us
because we understand the conventions and how we can relate it
to real life.
• Also it can hopefully send out a educational message.

10. Kaya Example of a Drama film
D
Bend It Like Beckham
2002
Bend it like Beckham is a drama
because it shows the real life of
Jesminder and her conflict with her
family because her dream is to be a
female footballer as they want her to
lead the normal life of an Indian
woman. She’s also a character many of
their target audience can relate to, also
at the end of the film her parents
come to realise that she's passionate
about football and lets her play with
her team.

11. Sanel
Example of a Drama film
D
Confession Of A Teenage Drama
Queen - 2004
This is a drama film because its based
on real life and how Lola is obsessed
with this celebrity called Stu and she is
determined to met him whether her
mum grounds her or not which can
relate to teenagers today and also
how being too obsessed and focusing
on the stars without realising how
important school work is.

Alice in Wonderland – 1951/2010
There is a theory that Alice in Wonderland is a film about a girl on drugs, which the colours

Inspirational Scenes E
The last song - 2010
The song played by piano in the last scene – emotions and
focus
The song played on the piano in The last song created a lot of emotion and focus
towards the girl on the piano, which inspired us to use during our flashbacks. The
pace and sound of the piano creates a lot of sympathy and understanding of the
character. We want to use this so the audience will understand Laura’s struggle.

20. Sanel
Inspirational Scenes Romeo and Juliet-1996
Romeo and Juliet both having a good time. E
Romeo and Juliet is inspiring to us because there structure starts of with new
equilibrium by showing how happy they are and then ends up getting married but it
ends with a disequilibrium as they both kill themselves to send out a message to there
parents which is inspiring to our opening sequence because we want to send out a
message to our target audience knowing that she was happy at the start but then dies
at the end to show are target audience how LSD is not good.

21. Sanel
Inspirational Scenes
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre-1974 E
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was inspiring to us that the slow motion was
effective as it focuses on the details slowly showing us that something that
had happen was important. So when we do are slow motion of Laura falling
to ground you can see how the slow motion emphasise the fall.

Theme and Concept F
Previously, our Theme was Possession and our Concept was Kidnap.
What Went Well
• The idea was unique, no other previous opening sequences did this idea
• It suited our genre, it would scare our audience
• It created enigma, climaxing to a point so the audience would watch more
Even Better If
• The idea was too complicated, not many people understood the plot fully
• To make it more simple, not to have too many things going on at the same time
• To focus on either possession or kidnap
• So… We changed our Theme and concept because we changed our genre, therefore
we had to make it so it can connect with the conventions of drama.
• We also wanted to relate to our audience more and make the film more ‘real’ to them.
• However we wanted to also send out a message that can educational the teenagers
that would watch the film.

26. Kaya & Sanel
Theme and Concept F
• To come up with out new Theme and Concept we all decided to without thinking about
the genre, come up with a completely new idea.
• We all wanted an idea that could relate to our audience, making it seem more real to
them. Therefore Kaya came up with the idea of hallucinating.
• We then as a group like the idea of it and thought we could connect with the reality of
drugs to send a message to our target audience, about what drugs can do to you
negatively.
