Production Meeting about different ideas

As a group we all had our favourite ideas of what our thriller could be, here is a selection of them:

Katie's Favourite Sequence Idea:
A group of children laughing and playing in the woods.  'Ready of not would then be heard' coming from a mans voice, but we cant see his face.  i would have then put in a change of atmosphere as the children frantically run around in an attempt to find a place to 'hide'. The camera would have then shot to a pan of a mans legs walking through the woods, and a close up on a gun hanging down at his side.  screams and shots would have been heard, and the sequence would have then cut out of the song 'If you go down to the woods today...' but the eerie version.  As the screen fades to black the title, 'Ready or not' would come across the screen and the same time that a gun shot is heard.

Crerar's Favourite Sequence Idea:
The films begins with a family who move to an old haunted house due to the father's job. The father is doing research for a new scientific discovery near to this abandoned house. The film starts with a jolly mood which soon turns uncanny. After a short time, the two young girls start exploring the grounds around the isolated house. One girl begins to see and feel presences around her, however the other girl does not. The mother hates the new house and wants to leave. One day the youngest girl wakes up and her whole family have gone. She goes looking for them but cant find them. Then again she starts experiencing strange happenings like hearing voices from her family members. She finds her father's experimental equipment scattered around the grounds. The shadows continue to creep up on her. As it gets dark she panics and locks herself in her room to try and escape the shadows. In her sleep the shadows set the old crooked house on fire. The film ends with the house burning and the little girl screaming inside.

Opening title sequence-

The camera fades in on a close up of autumn leaves. The camera then pans upwards slightly to show the leaves moving by the wind. Quiet, eerie music can be heard but it is not overpowering the diegetic sound of the leaves rustling in the wind. There is an establishing shot of a forest in which the house can be seen in the distance. Trees are swaying and blanches are seen blowing in the wind. There is a shot looking upwards at the trees so they are towering over the camera. The camera slowly begins to zoom in on the house. As the camera pans through the trees- during which, the digetic sound of leaves and wind increases, then cuts back to the slow zoom. When the camera reaches the house there is a creak and the non-diegetic music escalates and then there is a fade out.

Igor's Favourite Sequence Idea:
What is film about? Film is about how a musician changes throughout his career with his age. Firstly he is young at the beginning and wants to make music to help change the world, but then he gets older and and changes his mind. He begin to work for money and destroys what he has done before. Moreover,he has romantic relationship with a woman,which changes cardinally throughout the film the same way as his view towards the the world.
