Feedback from Matt

Today we talked to Matt about our thriller idea and he gave us some feedback on it. Overall he enjoyed the idea but gave us some pointers on how to improve the sequence.
His suggestions went two ways:


1. We establish the environment we are in, creating the world inside the shipping container. One by one the girls get taken out by big angry men, relying heavily on dialogue and mise-en-scene. The girls will be screaming, crying and trying to stand up for themselves which will involve close ups and hand held camera action, to exaggerate the movement. Matt told us in this idea to remove the undercover, confident girl in this idea because we will find out about her later in the film.


2. In this sequence it will be based upon an action-thriller genre, where there is an undercover girl and as in the original sequence, stands up for herself, knocks out the guy who try's to lunge towards her and gets the gun off him. She then leaves the container and shoots the unsuspecting people outside, involving hand held camera movement to also exaggerate the movement. She gets all of the other girls out and they try to get to safety.


We will most likely do the 1st idea because it will be more thrilling for the audience as they do not know what the film will be about, making them intrigued to watch more.
