A) Shooting Script 

Now turn your script into a shooting script using the shot choices on Celtx, Remember to think about how your shots will link together. 



B) Shot List 

Produce a shot list after working out your storyboard. Explain the type, duration and direction for each shot. 

Discuss this in your groups 

Shot List

C) Production / Shooting schedule 

This should be a day-to-day planning of your production and editing schedule. You should also plan on how and where you are going to release your horror. Also research and discover which film festival you want to enter it in. Include contingency and be specific on shoot days, what will you gain from it and how will you work out your order of filming.

D) Recce - Use these Slides for D, E F & M

Location scouting is an important process in the pre production stage of filmmaking. Once you know your storyboard and setting or scenario you have chosen for your opening, you will then need to do a location recce shoot and find exactly the setting you will frame your shoot. You may need various locations for various parts of your opening.

You need to go out and do a recce of your chosen location/locations and take photos from all the areas you will be shooting.



E) Risk Assessment 

Risk assessment is a fundamental part of managing health and safety and helps you to identify hazards and control the risk they create for those involved in your production. The process requires you to:

- Take the time to systematically look at your activities.
- Decide what hazards they present.
- Assess the risk of people being exposed to these hazards.
- Find ways to either eliminate or control them.


F)  Set Design / Directions

Here you will want to create a birds eye view of your set designs, Think about props and location placements, as well as character and camera layout. Use arrows and annotations to explain some scenarios

M2) Legal & Ethical 

Start to source all the relevant legal and ethical issues your film may have. Pick out which acts of copyright or relevant ethical issues a horror may contain and how you would resolve the issues. 

-  What legal and ethical issues might occur during your production process?
-  Will any content cause offence? Why? Consider violence, offensive material through behaviour/language.  
-   Is your film opening considerate of your target audience? Where would you place your film?
-   Have you used anything that will cause copyright issues? 

Once you have found out all the legal and ethical issues that your film may contain, start to think about how you would overcome or resolve these issues. 

E.G. Is your film for educational purposes? Used the relevant release forms for actors/actresses? Got permissions forms signed off for copyright use of soundtracks? etc.
