Monday 8th November

Today me and my group started the pre-production. The storyboarding and planning of the opening 2 minutes of our teen horror film. We thought of two possible openings and have decided which one to work with.
Also, we thought of possibilities for casting and the location of where we are going to film.

Opening 1
Ellie and Ben, boyfriend and girlfriend, walk through a park holding hands, they go to the Bandstand where Ellie breaks up with Ben. She walks off  while leaving Ben all alone. Ben is confused and raged about the sudden, unexpected break up. He then realises why when he sees his friend Matt, waiting at the end of the road for her. This triggers his anger. Later on, Ellie, her friends and Matt all get ready for the fun party ahead while Ben is alone in the dark stabbing photos of Ellie and plotting revenge. 


Location: Kettering Pleasure Park, around mid morning - late afternoon.


Pros:
- Nice surroundings 
- Autumn Atmosphere 


Cons:
- A lot of people around
- Gets dark early


Opening 2
Ellie and her friends are going into town where they see Ben and Matt. Ellie sees Ben and Matt and goes to speak to them.  Ellie goes up to Ben and Matt goes over to her friends, seeing that Ellie had something to tell Ben. Ellie breaks up with Ben and he is finding it hard to cope and believe the sudden break up. Ellie, Matt and her friends all leave Ben standing there alone, just forgetting about him, she walks off. Ben's anger builds up, seeing her not caring a slight bit and seeing her with Matt, makes him even more raged and jealous. Later on, Ellie, Matt and friends all get ready for the party, leaving their front door while Ben all alone in his room, plans revenge and is stabbing photos in the dark. 


Location: Town, filmed late afternoon. 


Pros:
- Easy to use different camera shots
- good surroundings


Cons:
- Always people there 


We had decided to use opening 2 because it seems like it would be more interesting, but having lots of people around will make it slightly more difficult. We will use a range of different camera shots so that our opening will be interesting. We have thought about possibilities for the casting crew.
