Planning : Shot List
Planning : Casting
Alice is a 23 year old who is pregnant and expecting her first child. She enjoys seeing people seeing people suffer and spends her spare time stalking the next victim on her list.
The part of Alice will be played by Lucy. Lucy is a great choice for this role because she would be confident in front of the camera and would be able to transform into the role of Alice.

Planning : Location Planning
Location : Kettering Police Station
Shot 1 of our Storyboard is an establishing shot showing the exterior of the Police Station.
We felt showing the outside of a real Police Station would be better than trying to create a fake location as it is more of a suitable setting for the first scene.
The location is easily accessible and will be clear to the audience on what our context for the short film is.
Tracking sideways
Location : Outside a Room (Kettering Buccleuch Academy)
Shot 2 of our Storyboard is a Tracking Sideways shot (movement) showing the interior of Kettering Buccleuch Academy (outside the room).
We felt showing the Lawyer walking inside the building rather than outside was better as it gives the shot more of an intense atmosphere (walking towards the door).
The location is easily accessible and the room itself is very dark which will help the audience understand how intense the context of the shot is.
Close Up
Location : Room door (Kettering Buccleuch Academy)
Shot 3 of our Storyboard is a Close Up shot showing the interior of Kettering Buccleuch Academy (the door).
We thought showing the Close Up of the Lawyer's hand opening the door would help the audience understand where the Lawyer is heading to and helping them understand how the scene location is changing.
The location is easily accessible and simple to film.
Shots : Extreme Closeup, Mid Shot, Over the shoulder, Point of view, Reverse shot, Two person shot, Closeup.
Angles : Low Angle, High angle.
Movement : Panning, Tracking in, Tracking out.
Shots : 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12.
Location : Dark room
For the rest of the shots the location will be the dark room, where the conversation will happen. We have chosen the location to be a dark room as we want it to look like a police interview where they have a single table with two chairs and a couple of spotlights. This helps the conversation feel more intense which draws the audience in. The location is easily accessible and simple to film.
Preliminary Task : Creating A Storyboard From Initial Ideas
This is our 12 shot storyboard. We used this technique to develop our ideas for our Preliminary task. We had to make sure we included camera shots, movement and angles, a drawing, the location and any further information that was necessary.

Preliminary Task: First Ideas
Our task was to produce ideas in a mind map that could be used for our preliminary task. We had to come up with different ideas for a scene where one character walks into a room and then sits down facing another character, who then have a short conversation.
The scenario our group may use is a police visit. It will be about a lawyer visiting a serial killer in jail who also is currently pregnant. She was put in jail due to murdering a family which she does not regret as she has mental issues and is known as a psychopath. The Lawyer asks a series of questions about the murder and suggests options on her upcoming court event. The Lawyer will help her decide what happens to her and her new born baby in the future.
Foundation Portfolio : What Is It?
50% of your grade will be earned through your Foundation Portfolio. This consists of a preliminary task and a main task, the details of which can be found below.
The Preliminary Task is designed to illustrate the processes of pre-production, production and post-production that will be required, albeit in more detail, when you come to undertake the Main Task. The Preliminary Task is not marked but MUST be completed and submitted alongside the Main Task to the examiner. If it is not completed, marks are deducted from your Main Task.
The Main Task is marked out of 100. These marks are broken down as follows:
20 marks - Research into similar media products and planning of your own media product.
60 marks - Construction of your own media product including filiming and editing.
20 marks - Evaluation of your own media product.
All of your work must be posted to your blog as this will be accessed by the examiner in May of 2016.
For each of the criteria above, marks are available in 4 levels with level 4 being the highest.
The progress thermometer below shows the key words for each level of the mark scheme.
This is what you have to do:

This is what you have to do:
Preliminary Exercise
Continuity task involving filming and editing a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom she/he then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue. This task should demonstrate match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180-degree rule.
Main Task
The titles and opening of a new teen horror film, to last a maximum of two minutes.
All video and audio material must be original, produced by the candidate(s), with the exception of music or audio effects from a copyright-free source. Both preliminary and main tasks must be completed as a group. Maximum four members to a group.

180 Degree Rule - Where the camera can be placed anywhere in the 180 degree space around the characters on set to look like a conversation. If it is placed past the 180 degree line it will look like the characters aren't facing each other/giving each other eye contact.
The 180° rule is a guideline that shows how two characters in a scene should stay the same left/right relationship to one another . When the camera passes over the invisible axis connecting the two subjects, it is called crossing the line and the shot becomes what is called a reverse angle.
