Naomi's production group worked on planning ideas for their opening scene. They narrowed down their ideas and presented a concept called "Remember Her", but received feedback to change the name to "Porcelain". Naomi also researched horror conventions to ensure their opening establishes the genre properly. The group created a moodboard, word collage, and storyboard to develop the opening's style and shots. They selected locations, did a risk assessment, and planned a shooting schedule around the weather. Overall, the group made progress planning their opening and Naomi is excited to start filming.

2. Pitch
Over the weekend we had to consider potential ideas for
our opening. In our groups we then had to narrow our ideas
down, my group all agreed on one particular idea which we
then went on to decide potential ideas for music and other
aspects. We had to put this idea into a presentation and
present to the class. After presenting our idea we were
given feedback and now have more specific ideas for our
opening. We got feedback on a variety of aspects including
the name, we originally thought that ‘Remember Her’ would
be a good name however after receiving the feedback we
have now decided that ‘Porcelain’ is more effective.

3. Horror Research
After deciding upon the plot I decided to do some research more
specifically into the horror genre. This will help when creating our
final product as we will know the common conventions and can plan
our opening ensuring that it presents the genre and has the desired
effect. It will also ensure that our opening is realistic.

4. Moodboard
As a group we created a
moodboard and categorised it
into props, costume, make up
and setting. I then also created a
word collage using wordle.net of
the different ideas that we have.
This will help us to establish the
base lines for our opening which
we will then develop into specific
ideas.

5. Storyboard
We then created a storyboard of the different shots
we are planning to use in our opening. We created
this using post it notes so that we can add shots,
take away shots, and change the order if we need
to in future. This will help us when we start filming
as we know the types of shots that we will need, it
will also help us when we come to editing as we will
have a basis for putting the shots together.

6. Locations, Risk Assessment,
Weather and Shooting Schedule
We then had to consider when and where we could
actually film. We finally came to a conclusion of
where and had to then make a risk assessment to
ensure that we would be safe to film there. We then
looked into what the weather is going to be like and
decided upon days where we could all shoot.

7. Progress
Overall this week we have begun to plan our final
product. I am excited to start filming our opening
and to start putting it all together. I think that if our
opening works as we are planning it it could be very
effective.
