Research and Planning

Introduction:

Research and planning is vital when creating a film opening as you have to have a blueprint of how everything is going to be produced and how it is going to be produced. In the early stages, we had to research about what genre we wanted our film to be.

What we did:

As a group, we used “Webs” as our main source of implementing all of our research and planning. Using webs allowed us to import videos from YouTube and pictures from Google. Webs also allow us to import presentations from “Prezi”, which was also a source of doing our research and planning.

What kind of research did you do?

As our genre was urban grime/drama, we had a variety of DVDsand films to watch and get ideas from. Firstly, we all individually went to do get our own ideas about the genre and basic clips and shot that are included in our genre. We then all put our ideas together and had an idea of what we want our film opening to be like. We all did our research via YouTube. YouTube allowed us to see film openings such “Lock stock and two smoking barrels”. We also had the opportunity to watch the film opening of “Snatch” via DVD.
