Pre-Production

Planning

Ever since year 11 I have been thinking about ideas for this very assignment a few ideas are listed below:

A couple in a forest who then gets attacked by the women’s stalker

A couple who are getting hunted down by a gang who torture people

The urban legend about the story of the dog called: Humans can lick too

We was then give our groups in my group was Yona Daja Year 12, Anthony Williams Year 13 and Daniel Richardson Year 12. From the start I had history with both Daniel and Yona from being in my year group for 5 years, on the other hand Anthony was new to me but we got along straight away. We then share are ideas to come up with the final idea, the idea to use for are Thriller. I was the most confident person some I went first presenting my ideas which they liked after hearing their ideas we all like the fact of making a urban legend as are narrative so when then made a list of scary urban legends.

Human can lick too

China Doll

No legs

The clown statue

We talk about how all these can turn out and we all like the clown statue story we then needed to share this to the class in case we had the same ideas with any other groups. The other all knew the story and was excited to see how this turns out.

We then got the choice of Four Roles which were:

Producer/Director

Lighting/Location

Props/Make-up

Sound/Camera

Yona liked the idea of being Props/Make-up we was happy for her to do this as she was the only girl and she did have the best fashion/make-up views in the group. Yona role was…

Anthony liked the idea of being Sound/Camera because he uses music program to create song outside school having an inside to his job already was good enough for the group to let him be what he wanted. Anthony role was …

Daniel picked Lighting/Location as he didn’t want to be the producer; he later got to like what he got in the end. Daniel role was …

As for me I wanted to be the Producer/Director and the group was happy enough to let me be it. My role was ….

After having are idea and are roles we was ready to plan the filming of are very first Thriller.

We all had a job to do and a deadline to do it before we film.




As the producer my job was to create a storyboard and complete a shooting schedule, then to sit down with Anthony and help him fill out the form to rent the camera. And to pick the people staring in the film we the group helping to. Finally to make a time table to follow on filming and later on editing. My storyboard ...

Yona job was to looking for any props or costsome we need and to tell me if we needed to buy anything.   

Daniel job was to search for a location and then report it back to me

Lastly Anthony job was to tell me what camera shot we needed to have to get the best feel and mark.

After completing all of this we was ready for the first day of filming………

  2. Jordan you have not demonstrated a deep understanding of pre production and it's relevance. you have stated that you and your group wanted to base your narrative on an urban legend, discuss why and how this ties in with the thriller genre.

    You must provide more detail regarding your role. you have uploaded your storyboard but you have not discussed why you have chosen particular shots and why they are conventional to the thriller genre.

    You mention a production schedule but you have not uploaded one. provide more detail regarding your role and your responsibilities.
