Account of Developing 'The Third World' Idea


My group decided on our idea of ‘The Third World’ after a lot of developing and discussion of ideas. However, we decided to present this idea as we thought it possessed the most potential to produce an exciting and exhilarating thriller. The idea of ‘The Third World’ gradually evolved from a discussion of basing our storyline on the epic plot of ‘Taken’ as the mother of a daughter is captured by a group of Ugandan thugs because of, the added element, the girl finding out about a well-kept secret within Ugandan communities. This meant our thriller was to be based on a conspiracy theory, which added a sense of realism to the idea which we thought was vital and therefore we could research similar happenings that have occurred in the real world. Personally, I thought this idea was very good and included some very fascinating aspects but I could see a few flaws in the plot such as the issue of the location Uganda, as we are in England it would be very hard to make the location look anything like Uganda. However, we went forward with the idea and decided to communicate our ideas in a PowerPoint presentation including separate slides on the storyline, setting, lighting, costume, actors, props etc. This covered all aspects of our idea well and I believe we presented it clearly as a group, choosing two girls to talk about the idea and two girls to note the feedback from our teachers on our idea.
