Research to decide theme

As we were making a short film, we had the choice of creating a showcase film to show talents or a film to show a cause. We spent many lessons debating over topics we could cover and express to the best of our ability but still could not come to a joint decision. We decided that we did not want to do a cause film as we couldn’t think of anything intricate enough to keep the attention of a viewer. Then we were shown a clip of the film ‘Se7en’ in class, and all very much liked the narrative. We decided to add our own twist and create a theme on fate involving typical fortune telling but with a clown which is a common fear for many people.
