There were a number of creative risks that we took whilst making our film. Firstly, we chose to make a piece with a period feel, and eschew the more popular genres of horror and thriller which the rest of the year seemed drawn towards. This immediately put us more at risk, as perhaps it may have been easier to opt for the genre we were overly familar with, yet we decided to go out on a limb and try to create something a little bit different.
In addition to that is the fact that the genre we chose could potentially restrict our audience, as films of this sort tend not to appeal to a widespread demographic. The genre can be considered to be something of a niche market, particularly when given an arthouse feel, so could restrict the amount of recipients of our film. However, this could work to our advantage as it could help our sequence to stand out from the crowd overall, as different is not always a negative thing.
In the actual sequence, the usage of deliberate continuity disruption when the character is walking could potentially be a creative risk, as it could cause confusion in the audience who have thus far become acquainted with the smooth continuous editing of action which appears to flow almost seamlessly. However, hopefully instead of causing visual discomfort in the audience, it will hopefully serve to make the sequence more visually interesting, again using a bit of a different and unconventional cinematic approach to add to the overall feel of the piece.
