Planning: 2 minute opening sequence

Blake Claridge and Akam Faraj

Schedule:

-Filming will start during half term and continue through to after half term.

-We intend to finish the majority of filming during half term (house scene) but will use our free time after half term to film the workplace scene using

-Editing will begin after half term so that we are able to use the Apple Mac computers.

-A log book is being made so that we are able to keep track of progress and any changes to our planning or ideas. Both people in our group will have an input.

Location:

-Akam’s house will be used as the main characters home. The street outside will also be used when the main character is leaving.

-We will use a small office in our school sixth form centre as the main characters office while he is away at work.

-This is a good location because Akam’s house is in a normal family street, with parks, roads, and also clean.

Participants:

-Blake and Akam makers

-Main character (Greg): Acted out by Akam

-Main characters wife (Sheila): Acted out by (Unknown)

-Main characters child (Lucy): Acted out by Sara (Akams sister)

-Suspected murderer and kidnapper: Blake

Health and safety:

•We are filming in secure locations because the school is person friendly and Akam’s house is child friendly with no hazards which might harm any participants or damage the equipment.

•There are no dangerous props being used in any scenes. Knives will be very carefully used.

•We will be signing equipment in and out when using it with teachers permission.
