Planning Tasks: Due November 17th

Once you have received audience feedback and decided which idea you are going to start developing, you are ready to undertake the planning tasks.

• The first task you must complete is a moodboard for your film. The purpose of this moodboard is to get you thinking about the overall look and feel of your film. What do you want the finished product to look like? Ensure you consider existing products in the same genre. Consider: colour, imagery, font styles, key words, costume, character types etc...

Here is an example moodboard:

• If you are aiming for a level 3/4 mark you should also conduct some further research into the CODES AND CONVENTIONS of your chosen sub-genre. Consider the following: what are the typical plots, what colour palettes tend to be used, what font styles are employed, what imagery is typical? To push even further: what about the editing styles and use of camera?

• NARRATIVE STRUCTURE: Using Todorov's theory, outline the basic narrative of your film (as if you were making the whole thing). Here is an example:

• TITLE & LOGLINE

Decide on a title and analyse your choice - you should show progression of your ideas (e.g. not just coming up with one title and settling on it - you should have a variety of options) and reasoning behind any decisions (consider conventions of your genre - see slide above).

Writing a logline: You will have to ensure you have communicated with all your group members so that you can all agree on this.
