Production Meeting 1

Date: 6.12.12
Present: Ellie, Myself, Camille and Katie
Focus/Agenda: To start research into the opening sequence we are going to do and start to decide the specifics (genre, story line, theme, treatment e.t.c.)


In the production meeting we brainstormed all the different types of genres. We then narrowed down the genres by deciding which ones we thought we should try and stay away from:
Horror
Science fiction
Psychological
Fantasy
Epics/Historical
Western
Melodramas
Crime

Below is a brainstorm of all the genres:
                                   
We spent the rest of the production meeting looking at different opening sequences and we noted down bit we liked and bits we didn't like or bit that we didn't think we could re-create effectively.
Some of the openings we looked at were:
- The Holiday
- Mrs Doubtfire
-Taken 1&2

We then said what we liked and what we didn't like about them and used them as a steppingstone to think of the next opening sequence.

Action Point:
As it was only our first production meeting there was any specific task to do before the next lesson so we decided that we would all look at some more opening sequences and come back to the group with some idea about what our film could be about. Also, to conduct a questionnaire asking 3 people about they expect to find in certain genres.
