Problems and Solutions: During our Planning Process.

During our preparation and research for our thriller opening we have came up with multiple ideas which we have had to develop or completely change due to problems that have occurred; 

Problem One: 

 Our original idea was based upon a mental patient with OCD, when planning our opening scene we came up with the idea of filming in a hotel room and have multiple props which signify mental illness and OCD; bottles of pills and ordered books. Although we realised this wasn't practical as hotel rooms are too clean and making it dirty ourselves would be risky. 

 Solution: 

 In order to over come this we decided to scrap the hotel theme and try to come up with another suitable set for our filming. In the end we agreed on changing our idea completely and focussing on a Schizophrenia patient. 

 Problem Two; 

In addition we planned to include fireworks in our production and due to firework night being scheduled in half term, our group arranged a meeting in order to get footage for our opening. Although we did not know that Cameras could not be taking out during half term due to upcoming exams. 

 Solution; 

As we could not include fireworks in our opening as we originally planned, we carried out more research and analysed more Thriller openings till we came up with our current idea.

Problem Three:

In our original idea we wanted to include a smashed window to symbolise someone had escaped, when planning where to record we realised it was a practical idea as none of us would be able to break our windows or knew of any building which would match the other footage.

Solution:

To eliminate the problem we decided not to use a broken window.
