Hey, back after yet another discussion about ideas and we actually have a rough idea of what we're doing, whoopage! After deciding that 'Action' Genre would be the way to go, me and lauren began to kind of brainstorm just ideas that came to head and possible influences (stuff like IT Crowd, Peep Show amoungst general stuff like ' Comic Book adaptations'. The comic book idea actually was quite appealing, as stupid powers could make for some really funny and fun filming. Also as we were mainly drawing influences from TV shows for the comedy (yes scrubs was mentioned, cos it rocks), the tv programs Lost and Heroes popped up (One has super powers and flashbacks the other has just flashbacks). These are two pretty well known tv shows that have such obscure storylines (and one has superpowers which will always appeal) that parodying them whilst sticking to close inter textuality references could be quite easy to storyline. Another major appeal of parodying tv shows is that each episode has a structure that a film shares but is done across a much larger timescale, so would be hard to fit in into 5 minutes. So yeah, at the mo we're settled on doing Heroes/ Lost parody as the basis of our storyline. now need to research, but considering what me and lauren did in two discussions (going from idea less to an idea) maybe we might just achieve world domination soon ..... ish.
Im off to work on that evil laugh ... I think mwahaha is the way to go
