Creative ideas and scheduling
Create a narrative theme for the short film and start thinking of ideas and planning out how to produce the short film; this includes thinking of mise en scene, location etc.
The genre me and my group would like to create is horror as we all enjoy this type of narrative theme. -
Research/ case studies
Gather 3 case studies of existing film extracts/ and or short film which relate to the genre of film me and my group want o produce. This should give us an insight of any ideas we want similar in our short film.
I looked at three horror films that i have recently watched so did a case study on them as they all had the genre of horror that i want my short film to be based on. -
Treatment
Write a treatement (rough plan on what i intend to do). It should be short and it should sell my ideas. There are specific points i will need to answer in the plan but at the end i will have to present mines and my group ideas to the teacher which she would approve of us carrying out our idea on the short film or not. At the end of our creating the treatement, our teacher did approve of our idea of the short film and also gave us some points to improve the locations on. -
Focus groups/ pitch
Do some initial pre-producion audience feedback on my idea and treatement of the short film. Write an evaluation of the audience feedback including any changes i will have to make as a result. Then make any changes required to the Treatment and upload the new version on blogger -
