Planning - Initial Ideas

This is our initial brainstorm of ideas, which were so expansive that we needed two  mind maps to collate them all. We decided it was best to come up with as many ideas as possible as it would allow for us to then draw the most effective ideas from the plan, allowing us to create the best possible trailer.

We decided to brainstorm conventions of a thriller trailer, therefore we come up with the ideas to use blood, screaming and darkness and these create emphasis on fear and danger for the viewer. We also decided it would be best to introduce the characters individually as it would allow for the audience to relate with them more effectively, this is important as our main characters are all strangers therefore it would be a misrepresentation to introduce them altogether.

We came up with the idea to use social media as social media has become a large part of modern society and is constantly growing. The use of social media will appeal to our demographic as young adults and teenagers are the prime users of social media.
