Teachers comments
1. 4 well analysed film openings. You have thought about your genre and
what will be useful to your film, well done.
2. Excellent research into your genre and its conventions.
3. Good explanation of your target audience and their likes. You could
improve this by using an avatar or a picture of a ‘typical’ girl who would
be your audience. Great addition of an image to illustrate your points.
4. Excellent script set out in the appropriate format. Builds tension well.
5. Some evidence of drafts from the initial ideas to the final prep for the final
idea. Do you have any draft scripts you could upload? Drafts now
uploaded
6. Detailed clear storyboards, well done.
7. Very detailed shot list well done.
8. Good electronic floor plans. You could add the difficulties you will face
with standing in the sea for the first location and how you will overcome
this. Good addition of explanation for the sea scenes.

10.Well explained costume choices with good visuals.
11.Good choice of props and again the explanations.
12.Well explained choices for actors.

being specific on what camera and tripod you will use (brand). Tripod
brand now added along with addition equipment – voice recorder

that the document stays together? Production schedule now uploaded in
a much clearer table format.

Student action plan for improvement
I have uploaded my production schedule onto my blog through slideshare rather
than having it on there as an image so that it stays together. I have also added
avatar to my target audience post so show what my typical target audience
would look like. I have also uploaded my draft script onto my blog. I have added
the difficulties I will face when stood in the sea on my floor plans. Another thing
in which I have done is being specific on the brand of camera etc. I will be
using. I have also done and put on my blog:
 A risk assessment
 A plan for the rest of my film
 An explanation of my Film Title
