Planning: Initial Ideas: Miss Begum.

Initial Ideas.

My group has come up with 3 different initial ideas for our thriller. Each idea is conventional to the thriller genre in it's own way. Even though all three ideas are different, they all have similarities. The similarities fall into place when we discuss who the antagonist is and what they should look like.

First Idea.

Conclusion.

To come to a conclusion on which idea we liked the best we had to discuss all three ideas until coming to an agreement. We decided that we would use elements from all three of our ideas to create something unique but conventional to the thriller genre. This discussion lead on to a even more detailed discussion about the narrative of our final idea.

  1. Clear to see that you have worked well within your group and have planned some conventional ideas.

    To improve;
    -all ideas need some more detail, especially in the narrative section
    -be more specific on what ideas from each you are planning to use
