The four ideas were :
1. Shellshock - following a solider just come home from war and sufferers from post traumatic stress. He comes home to no welcoming party or family and friends, just him, isolated in an apartment where he gets flash backs from the war explaining why he is so messed up.(a physiological sub-genre )
2.Cyber - is the break down for society in the not so distant future. Because of a world wide disaster humanity retreated into their own homes only to communicate via the Internet. The streets are empty, leaving it to the leaders of the world to try and fix the disaster by getting people back outside. (a disaster/political sub-genre)
3.the Egyptian boat - this idea evolved from the story in the news where an Egyptian boat set alight. It is based around Egypt and Iran having a business meeting about oil. the Americans didn't want this to happen so sent an undercover man to stop the deal from going ahead by burning the boat. ( a political sub-genre)4.Snowstorm - This idea came from our brainstorming session on the news story about the shocking snow storm that hit the East coast of the U.S. the movie is all set in an isolated house with one man living alone in it. the storm causes him to become trapped in his home eventually riving him crazy until he dies.
We each had one idea that we were going to explain to the class ( i had the cyber one). The set up of PowerPoint worked really well for how we wanted to present each idea. We could use one slide to summaries the whole thriller movie idea, not writing everything but the main points so when we would talk through them we wouldn't just been reading it off the screen. Then we used another slide for the opening 2 minutes sequence. Making each slide clear and easy to read is important for appearance but they look better with some colour and images as a blank back round with just writing can be too boring.
