Coursework Planning:My ideas so far

Idea development:

I have brainstormed the 3 ideas I chose to develop further to give me more of an idea of what I would be doing for each separate one, and which one I would like to continue as my actual opening. 

Idea One:

Pros: The positives of this idea are that it would be fun to edit it, espcially with the flashforwards when the character blinks as I could use lots of different shots in a short period of time. Also I think there is a lot of room for character development and a chance to create a protagonist that really intrigues the audience, as depending on what the images are when she blinks it could reveal a lot of characteristics in a unique way. The practical side of this is quite easy as all the locations are easy to access and it doesn't require a lot of actors to organise because there are not many characters.

Cons: The downside to this idea is the fact that it may be quite difficult to present it coherently to the audience. To make sure that the plot makes sense you would have to make the images that appear when she blinks really clearly a flash forward, which could be quite difficult, and if it doesn't work then it could make the entire opening seem a bit pointless.

 Idea Two :

Pros: I like this idea because I think that it is quite quirky but also relevant to a lot of the audience; everyone spends too much time on technology now, therefore it will be more relatable and have a larger impact on the audience. It would be easy to organise because you would just need a few open locations and then a bedroom; all of which are easily accessible. It also only includes on character so I would only have to organise two people which would make creating a filming schedule much easier. There is also lots of scope for interesting shots as the character is stuck in the computer screen; it would be fun to try and recreate that trapped illusion.

Cons:
It would be very editing heavy as an idea, as most of it relies on the fact that the character is trapped within the computer screen. This is quite a different idea and trying to recreate that effect could have some practical problems which would make the filming and editing process harder. It could also be

Idea 3 :

Pros: I think this idea has the most room for experimenting with audience interaction, it breaks the 4th wall in quite an unusual way as the character doesn't realise that is what is happening at first, almost putting the audience into the position of power. I think this would be the most interesting in terms of presenting the credits as it is what the idea almost is based around; the typography could change dependant on what part of the scenery it was part of.

Cons: Due to the fact would need narration to present the characters thoughts, it may be quite difficult to make it original and not just cliche. The script would also have to be really strong so that it doesn't make the plot cringe, which could be quite difficult to do whilst maintaining the storyline well enough for the audience to understand it.

Final idea:
I have decided to choose Idea 2: Computer Screen. This is because I think it has the most room to explore different options in terms of shots and also editing techniques. I think it is the most original idea out of the 3 and also has the most impactful storyline, as everyone in today's society uses technology.
