WEEK 6 - DEVELOPING YOUR PRODUCTION

This week we are going to be developing your productions to the point where you will be able to film during the half term.

It is essential that each group develops a working plan for the shoot.

To help you should refer to the Assignment Handbook in which there are many tips and pointers to success.

However, this week our focus is:

• Planning your shoot
• Storyboard and/or shot list
• Obeying the conventions of the genre
• Developing your filming skills

You will have time to practice with the equipment and to plan. Your HW will be to continue this so that next week you KNOW what you are going to do. 

You will have access to cameras in the last week of term the expectation will be to plan for some filming that week in addition to the half term.
