The document provides feedback on a student's pre-production tasks for an upcoming film project. The teacher comments that while some areas like the script, storyboard, and shotlist are detailed, other elements need more information, such as describing the target audience, costumes, props, and equipment in more depth. The production schedule also requires breaking down into more granular details per scene. Overall, the work demonstrates a level 2 understanding but could be improved further. The student is given an action plan to address the feedback to increase their final mark.

Teachers comments
You need to add the link to your preliminary film to your preliminary work
please.
1. Good analysis of film openings. You have identified the traits of the
horror genre.
2. Some genre analysis is added although this is rather brief.
3. You have identified an age for your target audience. Are you saying both
genders? This is fine but you need to be specific. You could also
visualise what you think a stereotypical audience member would look like
via an avatar creator or with pictures/photos. This now added in more
detail with an avatar.
4. A good script and shooting script. Watch your spellings. It might be
easier to read if you upload this via slideshare so the background is plain.
5. Some evidence of ideas.
6. Storyboards now uploaded.
7. Good detailed shot list added.
8. Good use of aerial photo for floor plan. You need to add where you will
be putting the camera in order to achieve your shots. This now added.
9. Location photos now added. With descriptions of scenes.
10.Some notes on costume on the production schedule but more detail is
needed. More detail now added.
11.Some notes on props on the production schedule but more detail is
needed. More detail now added.
12.Some notes on actors you could add pictures of them in the costumes
you will need them in for your film.
13.Some notes on equipment on the production schedule but more detail is
needed. Which parts will you use the different cameras and tripod for?

2. This now updated.
14.Production schedule has been started although needs much more detail.
When will you film all scenes and when will you edit? Again watch your
spellings when typing straight into your blog. Schedule now updated to
include editing time.
Good addition of a risk assessment, risks spotted well. What you have added to
your blog is good Pat, but you are missing some key components. Please
upload everything to your blog. Until then this work is incomplete and is a level
1.
Good addition of permission slips, production roles, character profiles and risk
assessment. Some of your work is very detailed; however a lot of your work is
not. Target audience, costumes, props and equipment choices need to be
identified. Your production schedule needs breaking down and more detail per
scene. Level 2.
All work now edited and added to a proficient level.
