Construction: Reflection 1

Reflection:1

In terms of our opening scene it has played out completely different from how it started.


In the beginning we came up with the idea of having the characters Rasheda, Destiny and Abby walking down the high street with shopping bags, Abby was the quiet girl- in essence the last girl who would be the person to over come the curse, Rasheda was the lead girl who was the typical bitchy spoiled rich girl and destiny who was her side chick. What would have happened is Rasheda, Destiny and Abby would have walked past an alley way and seen a poor old man on the floor, Rasheda would have laughed at him and Destiny would have joined in but Abby being the kind hearted person she is she didn't laugh she looks at the poor old man with sympathy, when Rasheda, Destiny and Abby walk away the old man puts a curse on them and they all start to die one by one in a mysterious way, for instance rasheda would be the first one to get killed by a bus, by when it comes to Abby she has to find a way to stop the curse.


This idea was good in the beginning but as time when on we found that it would be difficult to film and there was too many disagreements with the development of the idea for us to carry on with it. For instance when filming the very first scene which would have been us strutting down the high street Ralia, Ade and myself- Demmy, so that meant that Diego had to film, and we learnt very quickly that  Diego isn't good at filming because every time he would film the camera angle would be of or faces would have been cropped, and we also learnt that I am not good at acting because when they tried to film me I wouldn't know what to do or how to be sassy like they needed me to be as that was Destiny's character, and I would laugh when I was feeling awkward.


So I came up with a new idea which is the idea that we are using now of a serial killer called Roman (Diego) who has a fixation with killing women and keeping pictures of them in his bathroom.


Looking back I feel that we could have handled the arguments better because in the group we are all quite strong when it comes to putting our points across and we don't necessarily do that in the right manner, but now we are all good now because we now all have a better understanding of each other and what we like and don't like and I feel that we can make this movie really good, because the idea I came up with seems to be really strong and everyone likes it.
