AS Media Studies : Step Outline for Horror Film Titles

Over this week and over Christmas it is expected that you explore conventional Horror film titles. When you return after the break you will be writing;

• a film pitch (which you will then receive feedback for from your target audience and amend appropriately)
• a storyboard
• a step-outline
• a shot-list
• a script
• a costume and props collage
• maintaining an edit log
• filming the whole thing in a day at Bentley Priory http://www.harrowncf.org/BP_home.html. Use images from this site as part of your planning.
• editing
• evaluating and completing your coursework projects.

Phew! That is A LOT to do so you must ensure that when you return, this task is completed.

You must complete two step-outlines for two film openings. You must then bring together your findings about conventions within film titles to 'inform' you own work. Use screen shots and some presentation software like PowerPoint or prezi to discuss the information you have discovered.

You may choose to produce two step-outlines as a whole group (splitting the table up between you with each focusing on an area) and then put together a prezi where each of you contribute to one prezi presentation. This is up to you but needs to be completed over Christmas if it isn't done before you leave.
