Unit 17 - LO1 P1

Unit 17 - Learning Objective 1 - P1

P1/M1

A) Treatment/Concept 

You need to start your treatment and concept and start to piece together your full horror film.

Using your recent mind map make sure you make your treatment/concept using the sheets provided

Your treatment should start with your idea using the 5 W's (Who, What, When, Where, Why)

You should include:
- Who your character is
- What happens in your opening/Overall film - Plot of opening
- When your opening will occur (day or night)
- Where your opening will be shot, what location have you gone with and why
- Why the event happens and why your opening has your chosen narrative.



Narrative & Production

You will need to talk about:

- Conventions of what make your opening a horror.
- Element and key scenes
- What micro elements you will use and what effect (E.g Low angle shot to show power from the         demon or killer, slow pace of editing to create tension and build up)








B) Storyboards (3 Lessons)

Create a scene by scene board narrating how your opening will be shot. This is an important part to the pre production process and will map out your whole scene shot by shot with all the necessary elements explained and why.

You need to express your ideas visually and start to think about your exact camera angles, lighting, colour grading etc.

You need to all decide who will do what part of the storyboard in each of your groups. The more detail on drawing, colouring and text you put in the easier it will be to get a merit.

STICK PEOPLE WILL NOT BE GOOD ENOUGH!

C) Equipment overview 

Make a list of all the equipment we have and what each part could be used for. State your reasoning and what effect it will have in a horror opening.

Start to incorporate what equipment will be used in your opening and what effect it may have I.E LED lights for handheld Camera movement, a Slider shot for a reveal or using the Sound kit for some dialogue or foley sounds.



D) Production schedule

A production schedule is your plan/diary, this will keep a record for when you should be filming certain parts of your opening on what day and for how long. It should be detailed explaining everything you will need for that particular shoot.

You will:
- Decide as a team when you are going to film  each part (make it reasonable)
- Link it to your storyboard.
- Decide on time, location, props, Actors/Actresses etc.

Finally make sure the equipment you want to book is available and book way in advanced once you know the date you are shooting on!
