DEADLINE APPROACHING - WEDNESDAY NOV 30TH 9pm

The deadline for the planning stage is still this Wednesday 30th. You won't be in college, but most of the items are blogged and you should be working on this in your own time in and out of college.
You will need to make sure that the animatic is uploaded before the end of tomorrow (Tues).
The following must ALL  be on the blog by 9pm Wednesday:
Evidence of ongoing research into short films which reflect the ongoing process of your planning (embed links to more films the group finds inspiring, with comments)
- short statements (bullet pointed paragraphs) on initial group decisions in each of the areas for assessment in Unit G325: genre/style, narrative, representation, target audience, use of film language (eg ideas for key shots and dominant mise en scene). Remember that you will need to consult members of your audience for feedback later in the process!

- allocation of roles at this stage - see booklet on this, but it includes camera operation, prop research and acquisition, location research and justification, storyboarding, scripting, animatic production, costume, make-up, actor selection and contacting, lighting decisions, sound/foley research etc. All members of the group should take part in the editing process.
- location research (photos taken and uploaded with notes)
- initial props ideas and photos with notes
- lighting notes (on animatic or as separate posting)- use examples from others
- storyboard as animatic (with or without commentary - ONLY WITHOUT IF DRAWING IS VERY DETAILED AND ALL ELEMENTS OF FRAME PLANNING, LENGTH OF SHOT ETC ARE PRESENT)
- outline script (either as part of animatic, or separate posting)
- initial ideas for additional sound (soundtrack, foley/fx, ambient)
- notes, images, links on initial research into short film promotion (advertising, reviews - see my blog side bar)
- some audience feedback on story ideas, proposed characters and scenes (can  be gathered and presented through social networking sites), with comments posted
