Since finding out our theme last week, I hadn't actually realized there was going to be a theme, I thought we could make anything we wanted essentially. So after realizing this, part of me was actually glad that we have some sort of limitation.
Getting into the 'depths of life' for just a second, I personally feel like we have too much choice. For example, we go into the supermarket and you go to look for a cereal; not only are you bombarded with special offers and comparing prices of the shop down the road, you're also given at least 100 choices of cereal with different shapes, different flavours, different ingredients, different health benefits (or lack of) to name a few. In the 21st Century, there's no such thing as 'simple', there's a lot more choice than the world used to have and sometimes that can be extremely overwhelming.
Back into the main point I was trying to make; with our theme we are limited to a certain point and this makes the entire process a lot easier. We have to justify our final decision on what we want our films to be about, if we can't justify why it fits into our theme, then we can't use it. Sounds like a bad thing when actually, to me anyway, it's smart. It's less pressure, it makes us think about why we want to make our idea and it makes us research even further to make sure that everyone involved understands exactly why you're doing it as well as you being 100% on point about everything you want to happen.
