Setting up a new

• When you publish, send Nicky your url

• Remember to publish to a subdomain of
weebly – ask for help if unsure!

weebly template on eStudy: this gives you a
checklist on every page
Where do I start?

• Grab some paper and brainstorm ideas

for who is being interrogated & why?–
15 minutes

• Brainstorming rules
• Write everything down, even if you
think it’s rubbish
• DO NOT SELF-EDIT
• Do not worry about how you
develop those ideas
 Considering genre
• Genre helps your audience connect with your story

• Link each idea for what’s in the notebook to at least one

genre

• Put your brainstorm on weebly and answer the following

questions:
• Which genre comes up most often?
• Which one are you interested in exploring?
• Or has this given you another idea?
Researching your chosen genre

• Now you need to research your chosen genre:

• Eg Sci fi, Thriller, Drama, Crime Drama, Western, Horror, Action, Film Noir etc

• Research similar products (games or films)

• On your Research page, add screen grabs and links and identify/describe:
• The codes you can see – visual, audio, technical
• The conventions of this genre
Linking the research to your idea
• Use your research to help you produce a moodboard
More info about your moodboard

Film-makers
• You should consider conventional locations, characters, costumes, props
etc
• Make sure your moodboard gives an idea of your mise-en-scene
• Underneath your moodboard, explain why you have chosen those
elements
Well done!

• You’ve made a start on your

final project
• The next step will be to
develop those ideas further….
