Final Sequence - Cataclysm

Planning Brief Questions

Is it practical?
Yes. We have access to a sutiable location, props and actors/actresses who are willing to give up their time for the film. However, there is the impracticality of the weather but we have overcome this as our opening sequence is mainly indoors.

Is it an idea that works to the strengths of the group?
Yes as the genre appeals to all members of our group and the storyline is one which is familiar to us. Our group is very creative and practical which will help us with the Action-Horror genre.

Will it show off the skills you have learnt so far on the course?
Yes as we are using the theories and applying them to our film (Todorov, Levi-Strauss etc.). We are also using the institutional practices for the production and "green-lighting" of our film.

Is it something you can reasonably shoot and edit in the time avaliable?
Yes as we have kept the opening sequence quite simple without many special effects so shooting and editing will not take too much time to complete.

Can you get access/ permission to shoot in the chosen location at the chosen times?
The location is avaliable to us for film making, so we chould be able to get accss. However we also have a back-up location which we can definitely access if we can't get permission for our primary location.
Our Chosen Location

Can you organise lighting to use in that location?
As our shoot is indoors, the lighting will not be a big problem for us. To tie in with the genre, the lighting for our opening sequence will still be quite dark but as it is indoors this can be controlled.

Have you included dialogue? If so, will it work to shoot conversation in that location?
There isn't any dialogue for the main character in our opening sequence, but there is some dialogue between the two forensic characters which is muffled in the background.


Do you have guaranteed high quality reliable actors to play the characters?
We have high quality actors and the access to get them. They are reliable and suitable for the characters in out film.
