Thriller storyline

January 19th
Creating a storyline was a complete disaster but in the process we stuck together as a group and created a final storyline. Overall we ended up with three storylines. In brief the first storyline consisted of a man arriving home after a days work, he goes home and finds that his house has been ruined and that his wife has been killed; we were going to view the chaos from the mans point of view. The second story was of a murderer stabbing a man to death at his doorstep. The third consisted of a killing in college; the third story was inspired by our teacher as our group reached the point of desperation. For two lessons we argued for which story to use. The original storyline (story one) was inspired by a group representative by the name of Michael and seemed a perfect storyline but there remained a problem which consisted of a house, we hadn’t a house to use for the filming. So, without asking the group I decided to create a new storyline which at the time seemed the right thing but came to realise that it was selfish decision. Due to the mistake I was called into the teacher’s office (Rebecca) and lectured on the event. After the lecture Rebecca gave me a second chance to continue working with the group and advised to pull my act together as it would result in the group failing the project. After I rejoined the group but there still remained the issue of which storyline to use, one or three. Storyline one was simply perfect but we still hadn’t a proper location. The lesson finished and Catherine another group representative gave the group hope and was going to ask her parents if we could possibly use her house as the location.

The whole group turned up to lesson and waited on the prolonged reply of Catherin. To our disappointed the answer was no. We hadn’t a location to film the thriller. There simply wasn’t enough time to carrying searching for a location so we were told to carry out storyline three. We were shocked by the teachers’ advice so I decided to prolong the search for the location another lesson, I was going to ask my parents if we could use the house as a location, all of this for time to search for a possible location. Moreover we spent the lesson pondering on possible locations and found a location in Finchley but Finchley was way to far so scrapped the location. Today we found ourselves even further behind the other groups who by now hand there hands on camera and tripods. We still hadn’t a storyline, location and hadn’t drawn out the camera angles we were going to use. The day turned out awful and at the end we were all going to focus our week on finding a location for the thriller.
