Following a group meeting among our group members we have decided to change our original action thriller concept of 'ANBU' and change our concept into a crime thriller. We came to this decision as our group critically analysed our piece of work and came to the conclusion that our opening was too closely linked to another television series and we were placed in a situation where we felt that we were no longer using our own creativity. So in turn we have decided to follow a new project named 'London's Burning'. We believe that this switch is best for all parties and we will continue to ensure our project will be of our own creativity and talent.
We had decided that we wanted to create a thriller opening which showed more aspects of the reality and things that we thought where the current world issues. Because of this we diverted the whole project towards the theme and idea of terrorists. We decided this because our 'ANBU' idea was more toward one particular target audience which was the manga and comics. Also through our new idea we could show the view of victims who have suffered from terrorism and the views of the people wrongfully accused of terrorism, due to a stereotypical characteristic.
Within the opening 30 seconds we used a montage of the Woolwich attacks along with the news coverage that it attracted. The soundtrack 'Death is the road to awe' in order to set the tone for the film. We hope that with this the film will give off the effect of fear and tension that is necessary in order for the audience to adapt their own opinion. The song itself of sets an extremely tense and negative mood, which we believe in imperative for a thriller opening. All of this sets the viewer up for the next scene, which involves the interrogation.
This then follows where the innocent victim is interrogated by an apparently ignorant detective who seems to enforce his own negative stereotypes, which eventually manifests itself...

The concept for our short media piece revolves around the interrogation of a young male who is involved with a conspiracy against his own country. This correlates with the concept board I previously placed on the blog. The short film is meant to give an insight into the stereotypes placed on young Muslims as well as ethnic minorities within the UK. However we have considered the script and idea and taken away any thing which may have been seen as controversial.
