Getting Prepared for Your Main Piece

By now you should have hopefully completed your preliminary and evaluation. Once you have completed both videos, you should post them to youtube and embed on your group blog.

Your next task is to create an opening, complete with soundtrack and titles, for a new movie. You can choose any genre you wish.

It is important that you understand the codes and conventions that are used in your genre. You should post research into these genres using clips from similar types of films, along with commentary on the codes, styles and conventions used (the language from your TV Drama Analysis will be useful here).

You also need to research who your audience will be and methods on how you can attract an audience to your film.

Eventually, you will create a detailed overarching story for your whole movie and then you will decide what you are going to show in the opening, what type of atmosphere and enigma you hope to establish. You will then create a detailed storyboard for your opening, which will have a detailed shot list. You will also create a script, shooting script and schedule on google docs to have detailed information as to where and when you will film, the props and actors and equipment you will need, and also who is required to be there and the roles they will fulfill.

You must also take into consideration holidays, exams, work and work experience.
