Discussion, development and the final outline.

Receiving feedback has really encouraged several big discussions about the plot and what should be done to respond to the feedback and make our idea perfect.

First of all, we've decided to drop off the cannibalism....

As I've been told - Matt said it's "too much" having her cooking his kidney in the shot. 

Well, I can't be objective on this one - I love cannibalism.

Anyway, others from my group's agreed with Matt that this might be a bit too cruel.

So...

We had to come up with a new plot, which will not include the cannibalism.
We've been discussing our new idea for 2 lessons + a bit in our Messenger group cause we really needed our idea done by the end of the week so that one of us can actually start story-boarding.

  Notes from the lessons: outline of the final idea:

This is a real nightmare to force a group of people with completely different opinions, experiences and views on the world to agree upon something that everybody would like. We've been changing our outline like 20+ times just because there's always been a person who would just randomly jump up with the weird idea like this:

Messenger group:

 

Honestly, nothing wrong with it, just..

I really want to create an idea which everybody in our group would like so I've tried to think about George's suggestion and how we'll fit cops into it, so I was like: alright, if cops, then:

1) How did they found out she's guilty?

2) What would happen in the overall film after she's arrested? 

3) What's the point of the film about villain-woman-murderer if she's revealed in the OPENING SEQUENCE?

And he was just like:

That's how the cops idea died.

After that kind of crazy discussions and quarreling we've surprisingly finally put together our final outline:

- The woman is cutting vegetables in the kitchen, radio is playing along as the diegetic sound.

-(we film her from different angles + a bit of cooking process with squeezing lemon and all that stuff)

-In the middle of cutting she tries to reach something, which is not there, so she leaves the knife and walks away to another room.

-There she walks to the cupboard to get salt(or smth) and we can see a blurry figure on the background sitting on the chair.

-She goes back to the kitchen and continues cooking.

-(at that point we reveal that she has bruises on her hands and a cut on her cheek)

-There is a noise of the chair moving from the kitchen.

-She notices it (we film a close-up of her) and turns off the radio.

-She takes her big knife and goes to the other room.

-There is a man on the floor, bleeding and crawling away from her, trying to reach the door.

-(at that moment the audience realize that she's NOT in danger, but she is the VILLAIN)

-The woman sees him trying to escape and goes mad.

-She grabs him by the legs and pulls him back, ties him to the chair with the rope/tape.

-Then she goes back to the kitchen, smiling and turns on the radio.

-(the sound of the knife beating the board is exaggerated).

-There's another loud sound from the room where the man is.

-She makes a loud cut (like if she loses it completely) and turns round with the knife in her hand.

After finishing the outline we could actually start drawing the storyboard.

As it's much easier if one person does it - H said she doesn't mind, so she started drawing and we carried on with other work like deciding on cast and locations.
