Group

Decisions and RevisionsKaya & Sanel

Since our first draft, we’ve changed our idea a lot.

• So, in our second draft we removed the mental illness and make the character actually be possessed by demons and spirits who kidnaps innocent victims. Then again, our feedback told us it was to complicated and too much. We were told to either focus on possession or kidnap, or change the genre. Also our locations were unreliable and just not very flexible.

• Our first draft was a thriller on a girl who had schizophrenia who thought she was possessed. However, our feedback told us to take out schizophrenia as it was too complicated and sent out the wrong message about the mental illness.

C

Making these changes helped us greatly because we fully understand and we fully research the things we’re doing, revised our locations thoroughly and its a lot less complicated than our other drafts helping us explain it better to our target audience to receive the best feedback we can.

Decisions and RevisionsTherefore, as a group we decided to come up with a completely new idea. Kaya, Sanel and Rahel all wrote their own opening sequence and one got picked to be the one we develop as it suited our target audience and as a group we felt it would be best in connecting with them. So, we have now changed to drama, starting all our genre research from scratch.

However, the ending of our new opening sequence about drugs was confusing and didn’t match, so, Kaya and Sanel met up as the others in our group couldn’t and discussed and revised on many different ways on ending it after thoroughly researching the drug our character took. Also making very interesting and captivating for our audience.

Genre – Drama

• Our genre has changed because all of our thriller ideas were to complicated for our audience and sent out the wrong message.

• However we changed to drama as we felt its more effective and

real for our target audience.

• We all agreed that doing a drama would be the best genre for us because we understand the conventions and how we can relate it to real life.

• Also it can hopefully send out a educational message.

Example of a Drama film

Bend It Like Beckham 2002

Bend it like Beckham is a drama because it shows the real life of Jesminder and her conflict with her family because her dream is to be a female footballer as they want her to lead the normal life of an Indian woman. She’s also a character many of their target audience can relate to, also at the end of the film her parents come to realise that she's passionate about football and lets her play with her team.

This is a drama film because its based on real life and how Lola is obsessed with this celebrity called Stu and she is determined to met him whether her mum grounds her or not which can relate to teenagers today and also how being too obsessed and focusing on the stars without realising how important school work is.
