The setting for our preliminary task

We have found a perfect place to film our task in the school. Perfectly set-out in a basement, we all started to think of a thriller introduction almost straight away. I took several pictures which will help the group as a whole to think about when deciding on a plot and storyline for our thriller introduction. All the photos I've taken show in more detail how perfect the design is for a thriller intro and we will use it to the best of our ability. The pictures below show the setting of where our introduction will take place.

Preliminary research

In today's lesson as a group we researched other media students projects and took many ideas from them. We understood what to avoid and what to include from the other students for the best possible outcome of our task. Many groups we researched used match on action with the turning the handle of the door and then seeing them walk through the door. Many have used his and we are going to try and move away from this and make ours more exciting and unique. A technique we saw which we are going to try and avoid is that of people wearing school uniforms. We want to make our preliminary task seem more professional and we are going to make more of an effort with the mise-en-scene of the costumes we use. Also we need to find a place in the school whereas it is hardly noticeable that we are in a school environment. This will also make are project stand out from other students and show the effort we have placed into the task to help it to be a larger success.
