PLANNING- Religious Thriller Brainstorming

After we decided to chance our whole idea and start brasinstorming ideas for a religious thriller, we decided that we would each do an aspect of researh in order to learn more about religious thrillers.
We decided that:
Charlee would research the codes and conventions,
Oscar would research the history of title sequences
I would look up and analyse the opening seuqences to some religious thrillers
and Beth would look up some of the plots for religious thrillers.

We started brainstorming ideas and talked about religious thrillers that we had all watched, we came up with the idea of a religious man toruring people who had sinned. We all agreed that this would be a good idea and would be different to anything seen before as religiuous thrillers are quite rare. The fact that relgious thrillers aren't made very often was a factor that we had to think about as it could effect the likeablity of the film; however we checked some of the ratings and how popular some current relgious thrillers were and the majoiorty of them were popular and had high ratings.

After we decided that we liked the idea of a religious torturer, we brainstormed all of the ideas and anything that we thought we could include. We came up with the idea of the protagonist living in a family home, perhaps with a family member in the scene at some point, then going downstairs or outside into a garage or a basement, where he is keeping two people hostage. We talked about how long each scene would take and what we would need for the planning and the making of the film. I think that this is a good idea so far, we just need to work on the plot and think about how all of our ideas will fit together.
