First Draft

Health and Safety

Equipment:

• We are responsible for all equipment and should not let anyone other than ourselves use it.
• Only use equipment which we are comfortable using, and make sure that we know how to use all equipment before we begin.
• Avoid any accidents such as falls by putting away equipment and props that aren't being used (tripods, etc.)
• Wires must be out of any walk ways and wires must be clearly seen for safety reasons.

Location:

• The chosen location for filming must be safe and have been risk assessed.
• All participants must be comfortable and aware of where filming will be taking place.
• Be careful of any weather conditions in your chosen area, as hazards such as icy roads may halt production.
• Adequate welfare facilities must be provided at all times. This includes toilets, drinking water, and a place to rest.

Props:

• All props must be safe and agreed upon by all members of filming.
• All costs of props must be shared out equally amongst the group, and props should be from responsible sources.

Todorov's Theory

•Equilibrium

Protagonist – Paige

Young girl, usually happy, fell in love with her friend Callum. 

•Disruption

Paige sees Callum with her friend Courtney, and is heartbroken and destroyed. She goes home to drink and has a small breakdown.

•Quest

Paige goes back out knowing where Callum and Courtney are. She waits for them to separate before she comes out and attacks Courtney, and goes back home and has nightmares about it.

•Re-Equilibruim

  Paige’s nightmares wake her up as she remembers what she’s done.  She’s killed her friend and realises Callum still doesn’t want her.

Location

I have changed the location of my film to be shot in my bedroom. This change fits with the chages I've made to my planning, and will make filming easier as most of it is filmed in one room, with a few shots that will be outside. I changed the filming to be inside as it having it in one place would be quicker for filming and just generally easier and less compicated than my previous idea.

Target Audience

The target audience for my film is 15 - 24 years old. This is a mainstream age, and young people tend to like thriller/ horror, so I'm hoping that my film will appeal to them.

Changes

I decided to change my film because as I had created quite a lot of dialogue for it, and this made it really difficult for planning, and filming. I've also changed the location and sequence of the film, but I'm trying to keep to the same kind of narrative and genre, so some of my planning could still be relevant. I've cut half of the characters out of my film, as this caused issues with organisation and filming availabilty.
