Pre-Production planning

In today's lesson I sorted out my group for my media project, and we started brainstorming ideas on what we could do. We had many ideas ranging from a radio advert to a music video. Eventually we were tied on whether to do a music video or a short film. However, due to us doing a short film last year, with our new experience and techniques we decided it would be better to continue with the idea of a short film.

With the type of project decided, it came to deciding a genre for the short film. Having done an action style genre in AS, we decided to try something new. We decided to do a thriller to change it up from AS. We have a rough idea of the film plot. It will involve a boy that is visiting his girlfriends house, but gets into trouble and ends up getting killed with the murderer going to the girlfriends house.

We have already set up a number of dates and deadlines that we are aiming to meet in time in order to make the film in time and not be panicking towards the end with not enough filming.

The location is still an issue for our film as we have yet to secure a public area that we would be allowed to film on and also be the right environment for the film, as well as props, seeing as the murderer will have to have some kind of weapon, finding a time and place to walk around with a weapon could prove challenging.
