The advantages with the CEO idea is that the facilities we would be using to film our sequence would be very interesting and enjoyable and the modern features to the house would make our work look more professional. However the disadvantages would be that we were not given permission to use the house and car and therefore we would find it hard to find a location suitable for the sequence. The office scene would also be hard to film because not many places in Surrey have a New York styled office with a big, long table and leather seats. The difficult scenes could be changed to something more suitable but it would change the story slightly.
The advantages with the Prozac idea is that the location needed is very accessible and all of the scenes have a realistic chance to be filmed within a day because of its simplicity. The camera work and editing would make the sequence look more interesting rather than the location itself. On the contrary, there are disadvantages such as that the shots involve too many give-aways and ruin the tension. The plan was to show the end at the beginning and make a cyclic story, however the final scene at the end would be ruined because the opening sequence would have ruined the enigma behind the scene. I also feel as if the cyclic structure of a film has been overdone in recent years because directors still feel as if its a fairly new way of storytelling, but what they don't realise is that everyone is trying to "think outside the box" which makes those types of ideas unoriginal.
So that we didn't get caught up on picking one idea, we developed both storyboards and the character/cast lists that went with them and then by the time we attempt to get the green light from Matt, he can hopefully look at both ideas with a clear vision of how they will end up looking and decide for us the best idea.
(Eliminated both bottom storyboards)
