This form contains any risks that may occur while filming. Steps 4 and 5 will be completed when filming comences. It also contains the three locations where we shall be filming.

Our company logo was made with the programme Paint and is a compination of the initials of our last names, Auld, Strickland and Miles which then creates ASM. We found this name was easy to create and sounded effective.

Script writing is something that is needed in the media industry, without scrits there would be no dialogue and no structure. Scriptwiters usually take famous books, classic tales or a general story out line and put it together as a script for actors and directors to work from.

Scripts must be set out in a certain way ina special font. Everything is set central and everything is seperated evenly

For our film we have chosen to create a thriller  in which a young girl, who finds it hard to fit in, is invited to a campout in which non of the teengers are of her own social group. Through-out the course of the journey and the actual camp-out, the young girl, Emily, over hears a boy, Mark – who are meant to be together secretly, join in with the banter and abuse about her, this breaking her heart and evedently leading her to the dark road of suicide.

GENRES

Romantic – this idea would be hard to create and make it look genuine. I was not too keen as i do not like romantic films.

Kidnap/Action adventure – I liked this idea as I think there would be more oppertunities for exciting shots and a good storyline, however, we had done something similar to this in our AS production, however, I thought it’d be a good oppertunity to better it.

STORYLINES

The idea for the Kidnap/Action Adventure was that you would have each stereotype of a teenager e.g. the drug addict, the premiscuous one, tom boy and girly girl and one by one they disappear from a campsite.

Another one was to have a girl in a car crash or having some sort of trauma which makes her feel like she is not living, somehow like ‘Life on Mars’. Her struggle to come out her coma or mental state.
