Today we were criticized for the group thriller idea we initially had. Therefore we had to adjust our idea to make it better and less clichéd. The most important criticism was the fact that the storyline didn’t really make a lot of sense. Therefore, recently we have had a lot of work to do. As a group we had a long think about our new idea. Before the criticisms we were going to have a man get out of his car in front of a creepy looking house. Then, for the man to look around, hear scary noises and see flashing lights in front of the house. Then he would go back to his car scared and have flashbacks of children in potato sack masks which are being stitched. Then he sits back in his car and drives away until his car headlights hit a child with a potato sack mask in the centre of a road. The man blinks and the child is gone. Then the camera tracks into the windscreen of the car and the masked child is sitting in the back seat.
We were criticized a lot because it was felt that the idea was clichéd and had happened too often (Friday 13th, The Orphanage, Strangers). Another criticism was that potato sacks didn’t fit into our environment. Potato sacks are more used for a farmer environment.
Our new sequence consists of:A man gets out of a car and walks towards the creepy looking house. He walks down to steps towards his ‘workshop’ with his tools. Then we had a montage of the man ripping bed sheets up, picking up a knife and stabbing it through the sheets for eye holes but then sewing these back up. During this sequence the titles will be flashed in. After he has done this, he walks along a corridor and opens a trap door to where he goes down a spiral staircase. It is pitch black and he lights a match. The light from the match catches girl’s legs and then the girl is so scared that she wets herself. The camera tilts upwards and we see the girl’s face. At this point the man pulls the mask over the girl and the girl scream. Then the title of the film appears.
