Deciding on my final initial idea

Name of idea

What would work well Limitations/problems

Separated - It has a good plot which is typically dramatic and would grip an audience

- I could use split screen to show the two characters lives at the same time. This works well with the storyline and may help to boost my marks for editing

- Casting 2 sets of identical twins

- Casting older characters

- Getting a variety of ‘dramatic’ or ‘action’ shots

- Being too similar to other stories such as Blood Brothers

Imaginary friends

- It opens up the possibility for a lot of twists/turns to the storyline meaning a variety of shots in several different locations

- Being based on a ‘problem’ it is typical of the drama convention

- Main characters are people meaning several emotion-provoking scenes which are essential to any drama

- Casting appears to be the biggest challenge with casting 2 young girls and adults as well as additional characters likely to be challenging

- Making sure there are a variety of locations and not just a variety of shots.

Disaster - An action filled drama which would work well on a trailer due to several emotion provoking and action-filled scenes.

- A range of locations/mise en scene would make the trailer visually engaging

- Playmobil people will make this idea possible but may prove challenging when movement is required in the shot
