Decisions and Revisions C
Since our first draft, we’ve changed our idea a lot.
DRAFT 1 :
• Thriller genre
• Based on a girl who had schizophrenia and thought she
was possessed
• Too complicated and sent out the wrong message about
the mental illness.
DRAFT 2 :
• Completely same idea
• Mental illness taken out – wrong message
• Replaced with actually being possessed

Decisions and Revisions C
CHANGE IN IDEA :
• We decided to change idea completely
• Drama genre
• We did research again on conventions
• We want to connect with the audience
• New idea was a girl’s life on drugs and her hallucinations
Draft one of
ALTERED IDEA : opening sequence
• Idea suits more to a thriller
• Change drugs to mental illness
• Hallucination - > Bizarre delusions
• Change to psychological thriller
• Alter flashbacks to match new concept
• Girl with schizophrenia who is being emotionally
connected to toys from her real parents
13. Decisions and Revisions
Draft one of
opening sequence
After receiving feedback from the first draft of our
opening sequence, as a group we decided to change
the genre and idea for our second draft. This was
because the hallucination characters and dolls were
too confusing. Also, our target audience didn’t
understand that the main character was
schizophrenic. Our opening sequence genre is now a
Thriller and our idea is about a girl who’s new home is
haunted.

idea’s each time
Our changes in pictures!!
15. Genre D
Sanel
THRILLER
• We want to do this genre because it will keep our audience
engaged and interested in the film.
• It has many diverse ways of creating enigma.
• We feel as a group we can challenge and meet the
conventions.
• Also we like thought of being scared.
• A large majority of our target audience find thriller’s more
exciting than other genre’s.
16. Why we stayed with Thriller from draft 1
Sanel
D
•This genre has stayed the same from Draft one as we
thought Thriller would be the best option for our group as
we know a lot about thriller movies and did a lot of
research about thriller and how to scare people.
•Also we thought that the audience would be interested in
a thriller as it allows them to have the feeling of being
scared and keeps them on the edge of their feet.

Examples of thriller films
Devil – 2010
Devil is a thriller film because throughout the film you don’t
know who the devil is and it really thrills you to figure out
who the devil is throughout the film and at the end when
you find out who it is it really shocks you. Also at the end of
the film you think that everything is solved but its not.
18. Kaya
Examples of thriller films
Buried – 2010
Buried is a thriller because throughout the movie your
always anticipating to see what will happen next, to him in
the coffin/box. Also at then end when the sand is pouring in
and he’s about to be saved it builds up all this excitement
but, when you find out they got the wrong guy, it really
shocks you.
