Main task 4- Group meeting

In our group we held a meeting, so we can discuss what our genre and general plot was going to be about. In this meeting all of the members contributed atleast one idea and this was discussed and built upon to improve or combine with other ideas from the group. We decided in the end that we should do a opening sequence which is based on the genre Comedy. Below shows who said what in the group and what conclusions were made.

Firstly, I put forward the idea that every character in a school was somehow kidnapped, and that it was the mission of one of the characters to find out what happened to them and where they have gone. This would focus on the development of one character and their journey to solve the mystery of the missing students, we would have to incorportate our genre of comedy in there somehow, so it doesn't come across as being a completley different genre.

Laura came up with the idea that in the group we would have two people playing the actors, and one of them would play an outcast of a group, and the other actor being the popular classmate who has seen the outcast being bullied. Laura said that this would become a comedy through the different type of perosnalities coming across and learning about eachother. Finally, Sabene in the group suggested that it would be about a 'geek' student who had the responsibility of encouraging a rebellious student to change their ways. This general plot would be about both students growing as people and also understanding eachother.

In conclusion, we decided that our film would be about two students who were left in the school however the rest of the students had dissapeared, and their mission was to find out what happened. We also decided to do a social comedy, in where both personalities of the students contrasted and produced comedy elements in it. Our opening sequence will include the credits of the cast and crew, music which is different to the comedy in it and it should set the scene and provide clues the viewer of what the film would be about.

The pictures below are when we were discussing our sequence in the group meeting, we decided to brain storm ideas on paper and develop them later:
