Thriller Planning Task - REAL

In today's double lesson, me, Beth Harris and Alex Noble paired up and started planning for our thriller video.
Me, Beth and Alex have decided to work together as we are friends and we know we can produce things to a good standard together.
We sat down and discussed numerous ideas with things flying around. We did this for around 30 minutes.
We all had different ideas of how we wanted out thriller to be; Beth wanted it to be creepy and old and me and Alex wanted to be creepy but mysterious with a small girl in it. We couldn't agree on one specific thing so in the end we ended up putting our ideas together where we came up with something.
We then wrote our idea down and wrote out exactly how we wanted it to be from who is going to be involved, to the setting, costumes, props etc.
We wrote out a full plan of how we are going to do the thriller from how we are going to start it and how we are going to end it. By the end of the double lesson, me, Beth and Alex had our full plan in front of us ready for when we start our filming, however we weren't sure if this idea would go ahead due to the location we wanted to use. We decided to keep this plan then next lesson go and check the place we wanted to use.
This is our storyboard that we all created. It has each scene planned out. We decided to do a storyboard as we know it is a simple and clear way to display our thought-out thriller idea.
The costumes consist of normal day to day clothing as the second half of the thriller takes place as if it is today. The small girl is going to be dressed like a little girl, either a dress or a skirt.

The props include dolls that will look old.

The thriller will be set in an old burnt out building or in an open field with a large, dark looking tree. These settings will give off creepiness and mysterious. We chose these areas as they are both local to us and we can do the filming during school hours.

Lighting will be  natural as we won't have access to lighting due to us filming outside.

Before we start to film our thriller, me, Alex and Beth will have to do risk assessments for those who are in our thriller as the burn out building can have safety issues. We hope to complete filming within a day and then spend time editing our thriller to the best we can. Our credits will be added in on the screen as the thriller is playing. We have decided to do this as we think it is the best way. We want to be able to have our credits appear on screen as the characters are on screen.
