Change of idea

After much discussion with our teachers, we decided that the idea for our opening sequence just didn't fit with the rest of the film, mainly because we thought of the idea before we thought of the film's plot.
The standalone opening sequence would not have made sense to viewers and therefore to the examiners until they had watched the rest of the film, which of course we are not going to make, so as a coursework project the idea didn't really work.

After deciding this, we had a group brainstorm and decided to switch genre from Psychological Thriller, as we thought it would be best to start from scratch to avoid not getting distracted by our original idea. We also decided that we wanted to do something a bit different, as a lot of groups have made Thriller films in the past so we wanted to try something new.

The best way, we decided, to come up with an idea was to think about what story we wanted to tell, and after a few ideas we thought about a short story one of us had written earlier in the year, as it was quite unique and would have been simple to turn into a film. Everyone read the story and liked it, so we decided to go ahead with this new idea, changing our genre to Action/Drama.
