Planning: Storyboard






As part of our planning I have created this storyboard as an initial rough draft to work with during production and to follow as a guideline.

Planning: Permission for Location

Although there is no direct owner of Newbottle woods Jake contacted Northamptonshire county council and promptly informed them of our filming plans and requested permission for filming. There is no reply as of yet.

Planning: Classification


Upon research for the classification of our film and with consideration that their is pain inflicted on the angel and substantial blood and injuries we found that our film would be best fitted to a 15 as according to the British Board of Film Classification that shows our films atmosphere meets an equivalent to a lot of the listings for a 15 film rating. 


Planning: Special Effects.

The representation - which is a crucial element of making our film opening effective - will be mainly                      reached by a combination of special effects in post-production and make-up. 


In terms of special-effects a lot of the representation of location (heaven) and supernatural powers will be mainly created through post-production and editing. Specifically the representation of the entities will be done by high speed running as a way of exploiting supernatural abilities and meeting expectations of our genre. The flashback in heaven will be differentiated through something of a flash transition from scene 1 to 2, with scene 2 edited with an effect to create intense high key lighting to represent heaven.

Planning: The Script


In order to establish the exact dialogue, action and narrative for our actors as well as for Jake and I. There was detailed discussion on what each character should say specifically despite the limited dialogue because it is important to get the desired footage exactly how we want it and necessarily representing the detailed characterisation needed for an angel and a demon. 

Planning: Health and Safety Risk Assessment table.
