Character Profiles, Casting Ideas, Location Scout and Rehearsal Schedule

The next task we did was our character profiles, casting ideas, location scouting and rehearsal schedule. Doing this enables us to be organised and clearly see the structure of the filming process to limit any unrealistic goals/disruptions.


Script

Here is our script we created for our opening, this will help our cast and crew identify the roles and characteristics the characters portray as well as the structure of our opening/narrative.


Planning synopsis


These are our planning synopsis' and our original ideas.  They include our narrative ideas and codes and conventions, we also have detailed descriptions of our characters and what we have represented them as and why. From these ideas we can get a broader idea of what our characters personality will be like and also how they are involved in the narrative and the equilibrium/disruption.

Survey responses

Here are our survey results in graph form;




These results help us draw conclusions that we can take on board and use for our own film opening to ensure it attracts our target audience and therefore this survey was very useful.

Mindmap of our opening

The next task we had to do is create a mind-map of our opening including codes and conventions such as stock characters and settings alongside themes and narrative ideas. We used Bubbl.us to create our mind-map and doing this task was helpful as it means we can clearly see the ideas we have and this will make it easier to incorporate them into our opening along with other research/ideas.
Here is our mind-map;

Psychological Crime Thriller Documentary


To display and practice our knowledge and research of our chosen genre, we put together a documentary on Psychological Crime Thrillers that also includes our audience interviews.

To further research our audience, we interviewed three people who would fit into our target audience and asked them questions about Psychological Crime Thrillers.
