Teachers comments1. Very detailed work well done for all films in both horror and thriller2. Good prezi on the genre of horror and power-point on thriller3. Good use of mind maps and avatars to show your target audience.

Further work on the audience for your film is excellent.4. Good script laid out in the appropriate way. Perhaps consider cutting the

line ‘is aside letting the crime happen as bad as committing it’ and cut straight to ‘did I kill her’. This could create more suspense?

5. Excellent evidence of all stages of the idea being worked through6. Fantastic detailed storyboards. Excellent use of photos to further

illustrate your vision.7. Very detailed shot list8. Very detailed floor plans – is there a way of rotating these so it is easier

to read?9. Well though through locations. Using your home means you can access

it whenever you need.10.Great work on the specifics of your costumes and what they mean to

your characters, great additional work on colours and their meanings.11.Good list of props needed. You could add your costumes to this list.12.Good photos and description on your choice of actors. The important

thing will be to get the ‘family’ photos and making them look aged that you need for your opening.

13.Equipment choices now added.14.You have made a good start to your schedule here but need to include

the rest of the filming and when you plan to edit in order to meet the deadlines. Schedule now updated.

Additional work on what happens in the rest of the film, colour meanings, song

permissions, photo storyboards, drafts, risk assessment (could be slightly more detailed especially given the danger of having your actor under water), film title choices make this an excellent body of work for your pre-production Charlotte, well done!You need to complete your production schedule and add your equipment list then this will be a very high level 4. At present as you are missing some work it is partially incomplete and can only be graded a level 2.

Equipment and very detailed production schedule now added. Excellent additional work on voiceover trials. This is an excellent project Charlotte, you have used many technologies, all of your work is thorough, your blog is excellently presented, well done! Level 4.
