What sparked our idea

Initially we found it difficult to come up with our story. as a group we found that even after brain storming sessions we clearly had nothing at all, so we tried several workshop techniques in order to come up with a few ideas. One of those workshops was to do everything one step at a time, so we would go around in a circle just stating one location setting that could be considered interesting and noting it down. We then proceeded to make notes of random characters that could be our protagonist and then listed a few random props we could include. Although this workshop proved to be productive we were unable to actually come up with an Idea as the due date of the coursework stated to come closer and closer we realised we were now desperate for an idea so as a group we decided to all take the weekend to think of possible controlling ideas and once we had decided on that we would then go on to think about how we would work around and present the chosen controlling idea.

It was then we all reported back with several different ideas ranging from a zombie outbreak, post apocalyptic mission to a conscious state in which the protagonist is haunted by death. The final idea we decided to take up was the last one, the idea of a man trapped within his own consciousness possibly in limbo or some kind of conscious state in which he finds he has in fact passed away. It is difficult to describe the film because it would involve ruining the story which would truly rob the films final effect on the audience.

The film is constantly developing by the style in which we film, we may go out and film very short sequences then retreat back to the editing suite to perfect that sequence. During this process of filming and editing we are constantly coming up with ideas that we can add the the film so the final piece really is shaping up to be something special that we are all going to be proud of.
