Project Timeline

Timeline and Project plan:



Research - January
To begin with i am going to research the general conventions of thriller movies. After picking thriller type I need to research my genre and theme. For research I will interview people and also give out questionnaires related to my theme and Genre. This will allow me to discover who my main target audience is.

Thriller Movie Opening Proposal - January & Febuary
With my analysis on audience research I will brainstorm my ideas to combine with what the viewers want. They should also compliment my chosen theme. I want to create a dramatic and entertaining thriller movie opening therefore I have to think out side the box.

Script Development/ Story Boards - Febuary
During the development, I will produce a scene by scene script; with information on each scene. Also I will investigate what camera shots and angles I can use in each scene to gain the maximum potential.

Preproduction – Febuary & March
I will now organize the props needed for each scene, the costumes, the locations and the actors. I would like a range of visual and vocal actors. Furthermore i may use a narrator. I want my video to be based on conventions of my chosen thriller type, but also be unique.

Shoot – March & April
Book the video cameras, tripods, lights, still cameras and drama studio. I will film the scenes in sections of what locations are the closest to each other. Then i will note my filming sessions in logs - Day 1 & 2 ...

Shoot & Editing – April
Finish filming and begin to upload only material I need on to Final Cut pro. Start arranging to the storyboard order. Finish with editing the production, insert special effects, sound and transformations.
