Feedback from our chosen Idea

Our chosen idea is my idea 2, about the post mortem room. 

Out back up is Amandas idea about video calls/someone being deployed.

Today we spoke to Matt, who helps us with the production of our opening scenes, we told him our chosen idea and back up idea. 

He said he liked the fact that our ideas were very different and contrasted a lot, and they were different genres. He talked to us about the different ways we could show the post mortem room, and the time period we wanted to do it in. For example a really modern hospital-type room, or an old room which looks like the man is performing the autopsy in his garage or something. We talked about how the time period and setting would have a big influence on the narrative and the plot, and the things we show in the opening scene. We said that we had originally had the idea of the setting being quite dark and old fashioned, but hasn't thought yet about whether it was something he was doing on his own (maybe illegally) or if he was doing it as a job and he was meant to be doing it. 

The examples that he gave us were, he could be doing an autopsy of the body of someone dead and we film the autopsy of him investigating how they died. We would research into how they are done, for example have a microphone where he records what he sees. 

However he said this may be a bit gruesome and hard to do, so we though we could do something like he was retrieving something from the body, like a hard drive, as the body is a clone so could be recording something?

We will discuss these ideas of the narrative, but i think we have already decided on the room. Which we want to look something like an abandoned autopsy room, like this: 

We also want to have an old fashioned style to it so having close ups of posters like this would help set that theme up:
