Hi, this is my AS Media blog. It contains research and planning for my coursework production (slasher opening) and media exam. I'm in a group with Kate and Poppy. The working title of our production is Camp Ivy. Our production is strongly influenced by films such as Friday the 13th, and its set in a rural location like in Eden Lake.

Microdrama Planning

The microdrama task was to create a mini drama based on the horror genre, using the key narrative theories. In my group there was Kate, Hannah, Poppy, Tilly, and me. We started by talking about different plot lines and eventually decided on a simple idea, which we then developed into a more interesting plot line. Planning did take quite a while as we changed our minds a lot about what should happen in the microdrama. We drew a storyboard for our microdrama, and also this did take a while as we decided what shot types/camera angles to use for each shot.

We then decided where abouts we were going to shoot the microdrama, and we chose to film it in Ilkley Park as it wasn't too far away, and there was a tunnel which would create different camera angles. At first we were going to shoot in the dark, but decided against this as there would have been too many problems.
