Research and Planning

 As a group we had to decide the actual main theme of our video and what exactly was the plot of our video. To start off with we started brainstorming lots of different ideas, so we juts through in whatever came to mind and by the end of it we had quite a lot of ideas so we went through them all and prioritised the ones we definitely thought we should do and the ones that were actually do-able with the equipment and resources we had.
Secondly we came up with a narrative as you can see in the picture. basically the narrative is just a general step-to-step plan of what was going to happen in our video. After we had chose all the ideas we were definitely going to include in the final film we had to put them into place in the narrative and come up with a basic story.
Once the general building blocks for our film were in place we had to go into more detail and decide on things like props, actors, location, costume etc... We did this and jotted down all our ideas and chose exactly which ones we were going to use during film. Since our general theme was about creating mystery and suspense, all these factors had to be along the similar trend so we took all that into account and finished off all our planning.
