This document outlines an assignment to plan a "sweded" trailer for a film. It divides the planning tasks among four group members: storyboarding, scripting, costumes/props/actors, and locations. It provides guidance on how to complete each task, including formatting scripts, taking research and construction photos, and annotating storyboards, locations, and makeup. A sample schedule allocates times for the group to work on planning over several days before creating the sweded trailer after half term.
