class feedback for thriller ideas

3 out of the 4 people in our group went up to the front of the class to present our thriller ideas and receive feedback from them.

Idea 1: For idea one, our feedback was positive. The class found the idea to be a typical thriller opening but with a twist and the use of our ideas they believed it could work really well. They mentioned that we should try and add something that makes our opening stand out since it is an opening that is quiet popular. They also mentioned we could perhaps merge idea 1 with another idea as idea 1 alone would be quiet short. Overall we found the class feedback effective and helpful, it also meant we didn't choose idea 1. Overall the group were not too keen on choosing idea 1, we all personally thought it was too simple and was a typical thriller opening. We decided that we wouldn't go through with this idea purely because we thought it was such a simple opening and we wouldn't have much enjoyment filming it.

Idea 2: The class found idea two confusing, they didn't understand where the suspension was and they said it needed more clarity. The class believed that if we were to clean up and arrange idea 2 into a more structured opening, that we should use it because they saw potential in this idea. Another thing the class liked about our idea was the use of techniques such as the McGuffin, they believed that this would create a suspicious atmosphere for the audience and also create excitement. Overall the class found this idea to be the best one, it could be a really good opening once we discussed it properly and are able to explain it. Our group liked idea 2 the most which means that if we go through with this idea, we will all enjoy the filming process.

Idea 3: The class found that idea 3 would not work and may confuse the audience and us when we were filming it. For idea 3 we wanted to use idea 2 but put it in the form of a bad dream of a character who is woken up to find the dream was real. This idea did seem a bit complicated and the class agreed that we should maybe leave the dream part out and focus on just keeping it all reality as it would be complicated to decide where about's the dream would start and stop. Overall, the class didn't think idea 2 would be an easy filming process and therefore suggested we didn't do it. Our group liked the idea but after hearing the feedback, we decided not to go through with idea 3 as we realised it was a bit difficult for us to plan and film.


In the end we decided to go with idea 2, this is because it contained excitement and with more planning we would be able to add suspense into it making our thriller opening interesting and exciting.
