From when we presented our ideas to the class, we already had a rough idea of what our ideas were, but we wanted to refresh everyones memories so that we can make a rational decision.
After going round through the group, we could clearly see that we had some strong ideas within the group and that it was going to be difficult to decide the best ideas.
Our reasoning behind the eliminations would have to consider the accessibility of props and location, the audiences understanding and whether the title sequence used interesting and unique shots.
We immediately took out my two ideas about the zombie babysitter and the cabin in the woods because they were overdone and would look tacky. We also got rid of the kidnapping idea because I didn't have much of an idea about how I was going to film the sequence, so we were left with the fire idea.
We then eliminated all of Dasha's ideas except for the one about a man being obsessed with girls that had blonde hair and blue eyes. We felt as if this idea from Dasha was incredibly strong and had great visual effects and so her other ideas would have just been backups.
From Ashen's selection of ideas we kept the idea of a depressed boy on Prozac because although the story wasn't fantastic, the opening sequence seemed very interesting and fun to film.
Alen's ideas were the hardest to choose from because they were all so good. At first we were stuck on two ideas, poison and security cameras. I was the only member of the group that didn't like the poison idea because it seemed as if it belonged in the middle of the film rather than the opening. This was mainly down to he death and the obviousness of it.
Today was very productive and I'm really excited for the next lesson to see what idea we may choose.
