Audience Feedback on 3 initial Ideas

Audience Feedback on 3 initial Ideas

Audience research on Initial ideas

Idea 1

Our first idea was the one with the man getting arrested with no memory as to why. This idea was not received very well as the audience told us that it may be hard to pull off as we would need a police officer costume. We were also told that our idea, since it would be filmed in public, may get us in trouble if we see someone running from an officer. We decided that , after the feedback, that we would not go with this idea as it may of been too hard to film.

Idea 2

This idea was our one about the preacher who goes bad. This idea was received well as we had all our props ready for this film and we wouldn't have to travel too far as we would film it at school. The audience thought that the mystery of how the Preacher became a criminal being a mystery was very intriguing so this was the idea we decided to make our main one. 

Idea 3

Our actual idea here was received quite well from the audience however we decided that we didn't have enough people or props for the film. We also decided that the film may go on over 2 minutes so then we wouldn't be able to do it. We decided that this idea was a good idea but we decided it still may be too hard to film so we made it our back up idea.

Fourth Production Meeting

Fourth Production Meeting



In our fourth production meeting, we decided to make our ident for our thriller. Firstly, we had to gather our resources to photoshop our ident. Firstly we got the images downloaded from the internet, along with the sound and font. Patrick photoshopped the log online with the tools used from Adobe Photoshop. Finally, we edited the whole ident on premier pro. It turned out perfect for our thriller.

Third Production Meeting

Third Production Meeting

In this production meeting, we decided to film our rough cut. Everyone did their roles very well, and had a very good output. We edited the rough copy to see how it turns out. We were all happy with the rough copy and decided to carry on with the film.

Final Idea

Final Idea

The idea we chose was our third idea, which was:

A normal preacher is giving a sermon with a bored audience but then it cuts to the future and the same preacher is covered in blood and is getting chased by the FBI, the preacher get caught in a corner and pulls out a gun intending to shoot the agent but then he pulls out a card looks at it and then turns the gun on himself and shoots himself in the head. The card is then revealed to be a King of Diamonds card with proverbs 16:12 written on it. We chose this idea as it seemed like our best idea but also the easiest to film and get props for.

Second Production Meeting

Second Production Meeting

In our second production meeting we decided what days we would film on. We also made slight changes to our final idea and made sure we had all the props ready. We checked the upcoming weather forecast to see if it was ok.

Idea 1

A man is on a bench hungover with no memory of the day before, he is then woken up by a police officer who recognises him as a wanted criminal. Then the man is confused and starts to run from the officer but because he is hungover he gets caught by the officer and then it is revealed that a man in a suit is watching from a distance and gets out his phone and says to someone "It's been done."

Idea 2

A normal preacher is giving a sermon with a bored audience but then it cuts to the future and the same preacher is covered in blood and is getting chased by the Fbi, the preacher get caught in a corner and pulls out a gun intending to shoot the agent but then he pulls out a card looks at it and then turns the gun on himself and shoots himself in the head. The card is then revealed to be a King of Diamonds card with proverbs 16:12 written on it.

Idea 3

A drug kingpin is arrested by police officers then it is shown on the news that he has been arrested. We then see a silhouette figure of a man watching the news he pulls out the phone and says "it's time to get the band back together, you know what we gotta do."

Title:   A Bullet for The Preacher Tag Line:

Synopsis: At the start, a church is shown. It then switches to inside the church, using the camera technique; graphic match. The priest is preaching to the audience about his prophets. Another graphic match happens and he is running a from the FBI agent. The priest finds himself in a corner and commits suicide by shooting himself in the head. This leaves the audience in shock as they are unsure why he is running from the FBI and getting shot in the head. This will leave a positive effect on the short film. We will use different types of camera shots such as long shot, medium shot and a close up, even a pov for the priest so we can see the audience.

Key Genre Conventions: Chase scene Shows end at beginning Guns Death Unanswered questions Someone facing an equilbrium
