Today's lesson with Dan gave us more ideas about our thriller and how to develop our ideas. Hamsa came up with an idea that we should focus on one character more in order to make the thriller more dramatic and better focused. We also edited our idea. Instead of having the stalker be the main character's girlfriend, we decided that the stalker should be another girl character who is obsessed with a boy and hates his girlfriend. We went with this idea because we felt that it made much more sense than our initial idea.

During this lesson, we changed our ideas about the location. Instead of going with our first idea and having the stalker pick off petals from a rose in a park, we changed it to the person being in a cemetary. This would make our mise en scene appear much stronger as it has connotations of death and murder. Our idea is now, the obsessive stalker reflecting into a flashback of how they followed the happy couple and killed one of them.

As well as this, Me and Qiu-Ling also switched characters. Qiu-Ling was going to be the obsessive character however; I will be taking her role as she will be away from two of our media lessons. We wanted to do this because Qiu-Ling's initial character would be in most parts during the opening scene and if she misses one week of filming, we thought it would be best if I did it instead. We planned to firstly, do the filming of me in the cemetary picking off petals from a rose and then doing the shots of Qiu-Ling and Hamsa being a happy couple and being stalked by me. Krisztina will be helping us organise what we should do in the scene and how we should do it as she would do the main directing.

On Monday, I plan to bring in my costume for the filming and Me, Krisztina and Hamsa will be going to a cemetary in Stoke Newington to film the first part of our scene.
