Evaluation of 6-minute challenge

First, we were given the prop and location (chosen at random) of a bicycle, and a hospital operating theatre. I think that, out of all of the groups in our class, we probably got the short end of the stick with that one... But we rolled with it (mostly).

For such a wild idea, we came up with ideas relatively quickly - bouncing off of each other became really easy once we settled with the genre of Horror/Comedy, we worked really well as a team laughing about our ideas.
The name Darren Mougey was pretty open - it just meant we had to include something about a guy, I suppose.

The title sequence came easier than it did when we worked with Gone Girl, but it was difficult to remember the shot types, and sometimes we'd come up with an idea after we'd already drawn the shot next to it, so there were a few slip-ups. It was also a little difficult to decide where we were actually going with the idea - it's all well and good having a funny beginning, but if you don't know how to end it, then you'll slip up in the filming stage.
I think that we did well considering the task's instructions and the fact that we weren't actually going to continue on filming the idea. 
However, in future, we will need to think of an idea that doesn't come far off the ground in terms of location and props, and a storyline that's do-able for us. Overall, though, I think that we work really well together and we're definitely progressing in our film-making skill.
I don't think we'll be using the ideas that we had in this project for our actual film, especially since we already have ideas for that one, but it was definitely worth gaining some more experience.
