Media Group Q - Personal Response

Our media group consists of four members; myself, Alex, Hayle and Sasha. I was already friends with Alex as she was a former West Hatch student but Hayley and Sasha hadn't previously attended West Hatch so working together as a group allowed us to mix with new people which is always exciting and challenging. I feel that we all work well as a group as we are able to communicate effectively by listening and further developing people's ideas and suggestions. Our film idea is based around the thriller genre, a young girl is kidnapped the morning after a party. There are flashbacks from the night before to create intrigue and give the audience more of an insight into the young girl, Hollie's, character but there is an element of mystery as the identity of the kidnapper is kept hidden from the audience which sets up an enigma code. Each member of the group contributed to and further developed my original idea which was a young girl waking up from a party to find that her house is a mess. Alex suggested that we further develop the party idea and the significance of it to the film this was done by incorporating flashbacks from the night before. Hayley thought of a mysterious cold caller, this is what generated the title of the film, 141. A call from an unknown number. Sasha created the identity of the Hollie and plays her in the opening sequence. She also came up with the kidnapping idea, particularly the actual process of the kidnapping. Hollie is making a cup of tea when she is forcibly attacked by her kidnapper.
