Wednesday 13th Diary Entry- group discussion

 

Today I got together with my team to talk about a group idea. Before we left for the holidays, we had already discussed a few ideas that we wanted to use. Our strongest idea that we have that we all agree on is a 'come to life doll house'

The idea consists of an old woman playing with a doll house and opening it up with the dolls coming to life.

We wanted to have a haunted location, a room/ house that looks symmetrical, it looks old and has elements such as flowery wall paper, china, a rocking chair... 

We wanted the old lady to be spy like as she is spying on her dolls- (real people), controlling them. 

We talked about conspiracy and how the girls could have stockholm syndrome- they like their kidnapper- look happy around a tea party table. 

The idea overall would ideally have an establishing shot of a dolls house, then when opened up everything "come to life" 

We want to track the dolls getting ready and going downstairs to a tea party. 

We also would have a 1940s song playing over this. 

As a group, we also each individually came up with back up plans incase this one didn't work. 

My idea was 'the vaccine' which I presented to the class yesterday. This consists of a build up to a person getting a vaccine (I have wrote another blog on this is more detail) 

My group liked my idea and added some suggestions if we were to use that idea. 

Amys idea was to have a girl who was being stalked. Here are some bulleted points of her idea- 

- This idea would show a room that has a board in I with lots of pictures if a girl on it and her private information. This would include her school, where she lives and her family members.

- He is stalking her, there could possibly be a scene where the girl is completely oblivious to the fact that a man is stalking her. This scene could have the girl walking back from school and the man is following her and she blind to the fact that he is stalking her.

- This would be possible as only two people would be needed to do the acting in the scene. We could also use the studio to create the board with the personal information on it.

- There would be eerie music behind the scene, it would include a ticking sound to make the audience feel uneasy. It could either be violin or piano music

We also discussed that we could work with this one. 

As a group, we would want to use our original idea which we are presenting to Luke and Matt on Monday, but we also have back up options.
