Screenplay of our thriller opening

The screenplay is a preview of a script of a film, including acting instructions and scene directions. It often shows shooting directions on how it should be acted and filmed as well as the locations within the film. This is produced before the storyboard as an initial outline of the film.

One Page Pitch

A One Page Pitch is used in the industry as the first outline and ideas about a film. It is then presented to the production team where questions will be asked to see if the team wants to produce the film.

Researching age groups

As part of our work for Section A of the exam, we were asked to analyse the representation of certain age groups in TV dramas and relate this to actual demographic information. We looked at the 20 to 30's age group. Although our thriller will focus on characters who are teenagers it was useful to understand where representation of certain age groups come from, common stereotypes and counter types and how audiences of certain ages are targeted by real media productions. This is useful for us in constructing the representation of our characters and considering our audience.
