Checklist of Considerations whilst preparing to film our opening!

Location – Does the Location suit the script? Does it portray the right message? Does it allow us to shoot everything we want effectively?

Props- What props do we need to compliment the story? How can we make the props more authentic and realistic? Do we want the props to be realistic? Are the props needs within reach or are they unattainable?

Costume- How are the actors going to be dressed? Will the way the costumes are presented affect the opening in any way? What costumes will suit the script? How do we want the costumes to look and what do we want them to portray ie will they say something about the characters or will they show what has just happened (blood on them etc)?

Transitions between shots- Do we want the transitions to be fluid to create suspence or jumpy to add tension?

Time of day- At what time of day do we want to film? Will the time of day affect the piece? At what times will the location chosen be busy therefore hindering us from filming effectively?
