So when we returned from our assessment two weeks we were told news that was probably a long time coming but yet not welcome. Our idea didn't quite fit the brief as a 'documentary' in our synopsis, the cameraman is documenting interviewing a couple and then a satanist cult emerges from the background and then a mad ritual starts taking place, it ends with the cult members chasing down and killing the cameraman. All three of us liked the idea but we were given feedback that there was no focus to the idea, in that the documentary wasn't really about anything and had no focus point, therefore as the idea it was, it was not going to work. We were advised on how we could change the idea but we found that the more the idea changed, the less enthusiastic we were about it. The idea became so altered that we ended up basically deciding to start again with a fresh idea.
Though the idea of starting fresh was liberating, so we would no longer have to try and force a wrong sized puzzle piece into a slot. But we were painfully aware that our critique presentations where we would have to present all our concept work was Monday and it was already Wednesday. So as director I decided that the day after, Thursday, we would come to college and not allow ourselves to leave till we have an idea that we love, fits the brief and we would be more than happy to work on for the next few months. It took hours of staring but eventually we came to an idea we are all passionate about.
