Risk assessment-

• To measure the potential hazards or risks at filming locations and how to avoid them.

Proposal-

Story boards-

• For my story board I choose my final idea then described each scene for example I drew pictures and stated what FX I would use in that scene as well as describing what would happen.

Script

• I also write a script of the dialogue in the AD even though there wasn’t much.

• Even though my Ad didn’t have any dialogue if it does it can be used to make filming easier.
