Research - Common Challenges to Consider

    One of the biggest challenges I faced during planning was coming up with an idea that was both
original and realistic to film. At first, I had ideas that were too complicated or required locations
and effects that I realized I would not be able to achieve. My group also, had really high expectations for this assignment which was hard to manage. 

I had to simplify my idea while still keeping it interesting. This actually helped improve my concept because psychological thrillers don’t need big effects—they rely more on atmosphere and storytelling.

Another challenge was making sure my opening would actually engage the audience. Since it’s
only the beginning of a film, it needs to raise questions and make people want to keep watching. My group and I were very worried that our film would be boring and not interesting to either to grade. I had to constantly think about what information to include and what to leave out.

Overall, the planning process taught me that a strong foundation is really important. If the planning isn’t clear, the filming and editing will be much harder.
