Guys, blogs are looking great and I am really happy with your progress!
At this stage, I think you all have your plot and opening ideas sorted out, now it is time to move on to the next stage.
1. A script is to be devised (you may come up with one between you, or, write one per group member and then choose)
2. A storyboard is to be drawn out, detailing your scenes, and camera movement and composition.
3. A shooting script to be written out, a good example to be found here:
4. Actors: Choose them wisely! You don't want your movie to be let down by poor acting, nor do you want your filming to be held up by unreliable people who don't show up!!
5.Mise-en-scene: Just like in the TV Drama you have been studying, you need to create verisimilitude in your film. Think of how you are going to represent certain aspects of social groups and how this may appeal to your audience. Think about costume etc carefully. Remember also that your genre usually has specific conventions in terms of mise-en-scene.... is your movie following them?
6. Please ensure that you distribute tasks among your group equally. This means that I can give you all a great mark (YAY!), you are working together as a team, you are on schedule and avoiding the dreaded meltdown :(
