In today's lesson, the class split into our groups and began our planning of our thriller. In my group it is me and Adam Turner. We decided to go in a small group as we find it easier to work with minimal amount of people as there is less to argue about or have contrasting opinions.
The first stage of our planning was to brainstorm our ideas, we did this together so that we could both have input on what are thriller could possibly look like. we split our brainstorm into smaller sections and connotations of thrillers, such as sound, location, costume, props, characters, lighting, story and actors.

Once we had finished producing the brainstorms, We then moved onto compiling a questionnaire that was to be aimed towards our target audience, late teenagers, this consisted of 10 questions that would cover all the aspects of how our thriller would look. Our questionnaire can be seen below:

The next step was to devise a filming schedule for our thriller. This included when we would film, what equipment we would need, what props and costumes would be needed and how many filming sessions would be necessary. This was so we could plan our time so that we did not get lost behind on time and would be prepared for each section. this was our filming schedule:
