Written Storyboard

One of the most time consuming parts of planning is the written storyboard. On this document you write down the shot length, type and style as well as what will be occuring in each single shot for the entire length of film. Although we are fairly certain that some aspects may change, the majority of shots that we have decided upon and written into this storyboard will indeed be in the film.

The TOTAL TIME of all 61 shots together is 4 mins & 12 secs.

Home Video Script

This is the script we are using for our assessed film piece. It contains 4 and a half minutes worth of script all of which is relevant to the film.

(NB. A change has been made to the INT. LIVING ROOM scene: where 'strange angles' has been written, we will be shooting the shots at a canted angle.)

Production Schedule and Information

These sheets give us proof of actors details and confirmation that they can perform, as well as a checklist for equipment (such as lighting and props) and information on the locations that we will be using for filming.

Test Shot

This is our main character (Zara) dressed as she would be during the graveyard scene. She is dressed in black to show her grief as she is visiting her mothers grave.

This is ideal for the horror genre.

The character will also be wearing some slight white make-up to add to her paleness, emphasising her innocence and vulnerability.

Health and Safety Sheet

This sheet gives proof that we have any permission to work where we are going to film, as well as ensuring that all locations are safe.

Textual Analysis Sheet 2

This task allowed us to do research into films of a similar sub genre to ours, and analyse the openings. I chose Gore Verbinski's 2002 classic 'The Ring', and considered the use of camera angles, lighting, music, locating and mise-en-scene to have an effect on several aspects of the film. Some of the things that I discovered may well have a positive effect on our own piece.
