Thriller - Changes




Through group discussion and with the help of a great deal of stress and frustration we made lots of changes to our thriller. Primarily, this involved three major alterations:

1. Cutting down to two characters, Jimmy and Tiffany. This makes the sequence simpler and gives us more space to concentrate on two people - we added a scene in a kitchen amongst others.

2. Increasing the effort spent on the office sequence, to make the scene more interesting and help explain it a little better.

3. Probably the biggest change was to add the radio. The idea being that the scene opens with a black screen and multiple overlapping snippets of dialogue about the One Way Trip to Mars and then continues as one radio program in which the DJ discusses the One Way Trip show and interviews different people (behavioral psychologist, public member, etc). This gives us more content and allows us to explain the story in an innovative and interesting way. It will add the task of writing up the radio show and finding actors to provide voices but that shouldn't be too difficult.
