Notes and Feedback

Here are the notes we got from when we presented our thriller idea:

• It's too complicated - You'd have to go to Uganda to do the idea any justice, otherwise it wouldn't work.
• Keep it in the back of your mind.
• Try to change to idea to remove the abduction.

Or change the whole idea.

We decided it'd be easier to completely change the idea than to try to alter it as we went into so much depth it'd be hard to change the plot of a story we were so set on.
We've decided to make a thriller which is a mix of a supernatural thriller and a conspiracy thriller.
The idea is that there is a young autistic boy who is doing some sort of child's puzzle and manages to find a code which links to the F.B.I. He almost has a sixth sense when it comes to codes and numbers because, due to his condition, he can't sense emotions very easily but he can decode numbers because they make sense to him.

I found the presenting process very positive as it helped us to learn how to confidently present an idea and it also meant that we could get some perspective and not get into a storyline where we're not out of our depth.
We're currently thinking of ways to shows the autism of the boy, we're thinking about what type of puzzle he'll be doing and who he will call, but the skeleton of the idea is there and we like the idea.
