Task 2: Research

In class we have watched some examples of other films previous classes have made and this has given me some ideas for camera movements and angles. 
SETTING: my film opening will be filmed at my house, therefore I will not need any special permission from owners or council. Because my film is quite simple there isn't any violent or dangerous acting, so everyone should be safe whilst filming. 
PROPS/COSTUMES: map and camera provided by myself, also my own outfit. I have asked my three actors to bring their own clothes to wear, but as they will be early teens not to dress too "old". 
MUSIC/SOUND EFFECTS: I will be able to find music on YouTube or iTunes, I am wanting it to be suspenseful and intriguing. I don't think I will require sound effects but if I do then they will be available on the  movie editor or I can record them myself. 
TALENT: I have chosen three of my friends to act in my film, Bryony Astall, Kimberley Sletcher and Belinda Van Noorden, I will also be in the film.
FRIENDS RESPONSE: I asked Jodana Horton to comment on my concept and treatment and she said that it was "very clear. I can picture every shot of your film". And that "the way in which you wrote meant that your scenes linked really well. As in, the transitions are smooth." She also said that my treatment did not really reveal the character's feeling "however this character's emotions are fairly self-explanatory, so do not worry about it". The few questions she had were "Are you going to show the children tagging along the protagonist?" and "Are you going to add sound effects?" I response to those questions, I would say that yes you will see the other characters. Once the map has been found the camera/protagonist will look up at her friends (point of view) to show the viewer their reactions to the map. I don't think I will need sound effects but if required then I could add them when the cupboard doors are opened by having a squeaking door, or similar.
