Planning: 8 Key questions

8 key questions:

1)Is it practical? Our film opening is practical as we have all the resources and materials needed to film our opening. It is also easy to gain access to the locations we need to film our opening.
2) Is it an idea that works to the strengths of the group? Yes because we have a very small group of only 2 people. It is much more easy to work as a smaller group on a task like this as we both find similar interests and are able to agree much easily.
3)Will it show off the skills you have learnt so far on the course? The film opening's storyboard requires us to use certain camera shots and techniques to full advantage to create a good film opening piece. So yes I do believe the film opening we are going to make will allow us to show off certain techniques we have learnt earlier on in the course.
4) Is it something you can reasonably shoot and edit in the time available? Yes as the film opening is going to only be a 2 minute opening scene at the most. It should not take any more than a handful of hours of filming to create our film opening and even less than a handful of hours to complete the editing of the film opening. 
5)Can you get access/permission to shoot in the chosen location at the chosen times? Yes, the location we are going to film in will be easy to gain access and will require no permission. 
6)Can you organise lighting to use in that location? We will not need to organise the lighting for our film opening as our film opening only requires external and natural lighting. However, during the first scene we will need internal lighting so therefore we will use a lamp to help the audience focus on the props they need to be focusing on during this first scene. 
7)Have you included dialogue? We have only one scene of dialogue and it is incredibly short. In the script it is 3 very short sentences of the character Jay on the phone to an unknown character.
8)Do you have guaranteed high quality reliable actors to play the characters? We have reliable actors willing to play a part in our film opening. Tom Petty and Ed Clixby have both agreed to helping us film out our film opening. They both did drama at school a couple of years ago and not the basics to acting. They will not be needed to to do much during the film opening. It is for the audience to decide wether or not they are of high quality and standards.
