how we formed:

over the summer holidays, media students were required to produce a treatment and presentation suitable to fit a 5 minute short. The ideas were analysed and the best 4 would be put into a group, then the next 4 and so on and so forth. Our group was determined by this process and below shows each of our treatments;

Sam C A2 Treatment Pitch from Gavin Hood on Vimeo.
Sam has great knowledge about the technical elements on behalf of the film making process. he will prove to be a very vital member of the group as the depth and detail he can describe such as interesting camera angles and ways of doing things, will benefit our final product dearly.

Holly A2 Treatment Pitch from Gavin Hood on Vimeo.
Holly is highly beneficial to our group. Her excellent organisation and continuous ability to meet deadlines will ensure a guaranteed success in both the pre and post production of our product. Her idea of creating tension without using a murder weapon is very insightful, Its ideas like this which determine Holly a strong member of our group.

Adele A2 Treatment Pitch from Gavin Hood on Vimeo.
Adele is a very creative member among our group. the ideas she has put forward fit easily into our discussions and initial idea. This is why I believe she will be a substantial help in the production of our short.

IDEAS:
During our past two discussions our group has decided what we would like to include in our finished film. we have not yet set in stone our idea but know what we will use. we brainstormed ideas such as;

Include a quirky twist or twist at the end.

Not using a weapon to create suspense

Brothers that are compete for attention

An act of violence/abuse commited by a sibling for effect

A significant object that is a symbol for something

use religion as a theme.

using news reports to enter and exit normality in the film

use the "sixth sense" factor.
