Planning

Today we discussed what genre our group are going to do (horror) where were going to film, who we are going to film etc. We came up and settled on ideas really quickly and easily planned out the whole story line. By knowing the whole story line the opening sequence becomes clearer and easier and we know what shots we will want to include. for example the setting will be where the 'murderer' grew up and we want to have a panning shot of old toys and teddies. These shots will then create enigmas and we will know the answers. Deciding on location was simple and we will go and visit out chosen place as a group to see if it completely fits our ideas and criteria. 

I made a mind map so I could clearly see all of our ideas. 

We thought it would be fairer for none of us to be acting/playing a character in our title sequence as that way everyone can film equally. As during our preliminary production Drew and Lauren were acting and unfortunately did not get to do much camera work. We are going to use a friend to play the 'killer' however still need to arrange other characters as our idea includes a group of youthful people which sets the equilibrium.
