Use Review day sensibly. You will have to come in anyway, so as well as seeing all your teachers, try to organise it so that your group can meet up for some quality time to organise and plan your film opening at some point during the day.

Deadline Two - Pre- Production planning - Feb 10th.
What you need to do!
A completed storyboard for the entire opening (preferably having used ‘post it’s), including initial ideas about title placing.
This needs to be made into an animatic of approximately the same length as the final film will be (shots to be timed carefully) with a voice-over explanation and embedded onto the blog.
Also:
- a synopsis for the whole film narrative from which this will be the opening
- the script for any dialogue,
- list of roles (see pre-production planning advice)
- images of locations and decisions about locations,
- prop research and justification in terms of character and story
- health and safety, including risk assessments for filming and use of equipment.
- lighting decisions.
Blog Heading “Pre-Production Planning”(clearly label which group member has taken responsibility for each of the various posts).
Again, consider blog format – images, text, screen grabs, embedded video, hyperlinks, etc
If you want to film over half term, this needs to be handed in earlier in order that we can check it through and grant permission.

Make at least two references to each of the 4 areas of editing, camerawork, mise en scene and sound, using appropriate terms for each.
Comment on why this works as an opening to a thriller (consider conventions for film openings of this genre)
Comment on its narrative structure.
How – remember this is a blog posting – use bullet points, embed video, links, screen grab imagery from the opening, clear sub headings – it must be easy to follow.
Clearly headed “Research task” by (Your Name) and tagged. All individual members of the group need to complete this.
