Production Log 8

I had to come up with some creative ideas for my BSR production which looks at the narrative, themes, setting/location and a protagonist. I had to create three initial ideas and from that pick a final idea which i thought i could possibly produce the best of the three. While looking at these four aspects for my production i looked at how specifically they could link back to BSR films that have been successful. Themes was a major ingredient for the production though it is easy to come up with the themes for the production it has to be looked at in a unique way because themes that run through BSR films are typically all the same, ranging from drugs to domestic violence etc. So illustrating those themes in a way that is unique would make it successful as well as having a narrative which ties in with it and incorporates the themes deeply.

The key influences of my BSR ideas came from real life situations that i have been involved with myself or that i have seen in the media. Though the ideas didn't come from the BSR genre itself i think that they can be considered quite close as they have originated from reality and that is what BSR films do, look at things from a neutral realistic perspective. The aspect of the theme of drugs helped me develop the narratives the most.

We ended up picking our groups ourselves rather than have them be allocated. In my group i have two other people, working in a three will prove quite challenging seeing as one person could significantly drop marks for lack of contribution. Overall i think that working in a three is a possible advantage seeing as we have more people to have an input which means we can refine our production even more and there will never be a lack of ideas. In all i don't see any issues working in my group seeing as we all get along fine, and we all have ideas to share which are quite similar because i think we all understand the BSR genre to a high degree.
