We have decided to use Idea 3 as this had the best appeal in our pitch presentation, was one of the easiest to film and the response to our questionnaire said that this style of film was the favourite among our intended age group (teenagers). We have decided to remove some of the on-screen violence and mature imagery in favour of implication to move the age rating of the film from a 15 to a 12. This allows the demographic to be wider as more people can watch our film.
The original story had the main character as an adult, but we have changed this to a late teen as we are using Chris (a 17 year old) in our film as we feel he would not be convincing as an adult and this would take away from the feel of the opening.
We have changed the idea of the fire to one of gambling debt as getting footage of a fire for the flashbacks would either be too difficult to edit together whist looking realistic or dangerous to do it in real life. The change still allows for a similar feeling of tension in the opening.
We originally had no props, but we are now going to use a passport and pictures of young girls. Since we only have one character, having pictures of other people makes everything feel more connected and gives it more of a story without having to use dialogue.
