The document discusses planning for a student film project recreating scenes from the movie REC. It includes storyboards by Liam Howse outlining key shots. Michael Ivan's section maps out props and costumes needed like flashlights, hard hats, and hazmat suits. Possible filming locations are considered by Zain Khan, including abandoned buildings that could work but may have safety issues.

1. [ REC] (Media A-Level:
Swede Task)
By Liam Howse, Liam Cornwall-Tombs, Michael Ivan and Zain Khan

2. Storyboards
By Liam Howse

3. To plan the storyboard I had to
watch the trailer numerous times in
order to make the ‘swede’ task. By
doing this, it gave me a better
understanding of how my group
could recreate certain scenes in a
different way. For example, in the
REC trailer there is a shot where an
attic hatch falls down and swings.
As we probably can’t recreate this
we can use something like a door a
leave it swinging. We will have to
improvise to the best of our ability.
I think the storyboards would be
better if I had drawn in more detail
and produced it in colour so some
shots would be more clear in terms
of being able to tell what’s
happening without the text I added.

STORYBOARDS
1st page of storyboard
The first storyboard is up to the shot
when the two firemen enter the first
room. This storyboard shows us the
two firemen jogging through the
archway, them hearing the strange
noise, then they go to investigate
what it was, them running up the
stairs eventually leading to them
walking through the door and into
the room.
2nd page of storyboard
The second storyboard shows the
rest of the trailer up to around 1:31.
This is when we see the young girl
banging on the glass. We feel this is
a suitable place to stop at as past
1:31 it isn’t clear on what is going
on. As well as this we are covering
the majority of the trailer anyway.

prop/how does it
look?)
Idea/Planning Construction
(If it’s made by
you?)
End Product
(If no tampering
needs to be done
to the prop?)
Flashlight/Torch We already own
some of these
types of props.

(If no tampering
needs to be done

Hardhat/Helmet We might need to
buy two of these
from an online
site such as
Amazon or eBay if
we are unable to
gain access to
these. We are
probably not
going to get
access to proper
fire emergency
helmets so this is
something we
have to improvise
on.

Hi-Vis Jackets We may even
make these if we
are able to pick
up something like
Hi-Vis tape or
stickers. We are
looking to acquire
this item from
school as we’ve
been told that the
reprographics
teacher has them.

Gas Mask Depending on
what we can get,
we may resort to
tampering with
the mask that we
already have in
order to make it
seem more like
the one in the
movie.

Hazmat Suit If we make it we
could improvise
by wearing a
yellow hoodie
and yellow
trousers. As we
are filming in the
dark, the colour
of the yellow
shouldn’t matter
too much.
