Matts Response to our Idea

In the lesson India, Sasha and I spoke to Matt about our opening sequence idea.

We explained what we wanted to film and how we were going to achieve it.

When we pitched our concept Matt really liked the idea about the girls under the floorboards all on top of each other so he  said to start with that image and expand from it. This gives our sequence a strong starting point and we can really focus on one key point and not over complicate it. 

We had an idea to have a girl running through a woods but Matt said that is being done a lot and maybe it's a bit too overdone so we should think of a different idea to replace it. This helped us to focus our idea on just one thing and not to make our whole sequence over complicated.

Matt also recommended that we should use a real life which story so it can influence the Mother Shipton character and give her a reason for her killings.
In our research we found Jenny Greenteeth:

^ Taken from Listverse

We  chose this witch because it says that she is "just a sadist who enjoys pain her victims go through", which we thought fitted our character, Mother Shipton.
