Idea Development

We made the choice to base our film on webcams, which was 1 of our 3 ideas. At that stage that was all we made the decision on because we thought it would be diferent and would attract the thriller target audience (15 - early 20 yr olds). Oviously a lot of developing went on between then and filming. I came up with and subsequently made the 'top secret document' which is slightly cliched I admit but we did put a modern twist on it, as a everyday civilian has it and also it is sent digitally via MSN. As a group we also decided that the character who sends it (Tom) should get taken away and that the audience should know very little about what has happened and the background of what has happened. The rest of the film would address these, going into the past about waht had happened up to the point of the present, which they are shown in the opening and then what happens to the characters in the present throughout the story.
