Introduction

Our main task is to produce the titles and opening of a new fictional film that lasts a maximum of two minutes; with all audio (with the exception of copy-right free sound) and video material being original. It is also necessary to complete a preliminary exercise in which filming and editing can be practised, and key skills can be demonstrated


The first stage of the task is to complete research and planing, this was started 5/01/11 in which we had a class discussion of things that need to be considered before we use a camera, common suggestions were:
. Research into genre - codes and conventions i.e. stock characters
. Research into target demographic - the production of questionnaires
. Institution research
. Storyboarding, scripting and casting etc...
We also chose our groups and discussed possible genres that we would like to explore. Our whole group decided to venture into the realm of thriller, as it is a broad genre in which multiple sub-genres can be considered such as, horror thriller, vampire thriller, psychological thriller etc.. Our group is currently unsure on which route to take but we will narrow it down the further we research into each sub-genre.
