1000 words planning section
Ok crunch time folks, Part one is due on the friday before half term 23 rd october so i have time to mark it over the holidays,

Part one of your writing is about your Research and Planning and the early work that led into this project

You should write approx 1000 words about your Thriller project so far.

You could start by writing about how you were introduced to imovie and the use of the camera equipment, the beast which is the Canon XL2, and the introductory exercises you did with them, and you must always refer to what you have put on your blog so far.

You should address the following points: discussion of what a Thriller title sequence involves - including points about use of music, graphics and introduction of characters, setting and narrative.

An analysis of some the Thriller sequences you looked at - this should allow you to discuss what real thriller openings and student examples you thought were effective and why.

Some consideration of the target audience of your opening

You should also discuss the initial ideas that your group has had - what type of Thriller have you thought about making? Why?

What is your group's idea for your opening sequence? Include reference to setting, characters, props, costume, music and other sound, text you intend to use, the title itself, challenges which you foresee, an outline of the timescale you will be working to.

AIM FOR 1000 WORDS.

After feedback from me, you should make any suggested changes and then start work on the next part of the essay, carrying on from where part 1 ends, so that you upload it as a continuing document NOT as separate parts.


I have started to plan and make a start on my essay today. This essay is due in next friday before half term, it will show my planing, research where I aiming to get too.
