  Possible areas: Here are the photos taken for possible filming areas, They are in an area near one of the group members which makes them quick and easy to get to. These may fit to our opening sequence, since it has a kidnapping scene take place and places like this could be ideal for filming such situations.   There is also the garage of one of the group members which will be used for another part of the opening sequence, where one of the characters will be held hostage and the threatening video message will be made.  The last part of the sequence will be filmed in one of the group members bedrooms, partly because they are acting as the main character. This will also make things easier for the group and/or be better to work with.

The group has now gone out and done the recce we can start to piece together where things will happen. The setting/area chosen is close to one of the group members homes and they are quick and easy to get to. The smaller river and the larger river may suitable for the sequence as it part of it features a kidnapping scene, which would be fitting with the type of area. The smaller river has a more closed off feel/look to it while the bigger, having more space is more open. We'll be using a garage for one part and a bedroom for the end of the sequence. With the recce done we can now move onto the shot list of the various shots that the group would like to try to achieve, the list will be in the same order as the storyboard and order of filming process. We can then start looking for any necessary props and costumes, which were also slightly mentioned in one of the group discussions.

Overall the group received decently good feedback with the expected mentioning of what needs to be improved. Two out of the three have agreed/mentioned that the audience profile was one of the elements that had worked. The researched products as well as the film idea and title were also considered working elements and the messages and use of the sketchbook being used as iconography were seen as a good idea.   Things believed to be in need of development were story idea/narrative seeing as they were stated to be confusing and needed to be made clearer, more research could be presented from the anime/manga genre along with the explanation of how the generic codes and conventions occur in the opening.   Things said not to have worked were the genre hybrid- action. only stated on one sheet.   With this feedback the group has begun working  to improve the presentation based on the things stated to be in need of development and what didn’t work. ...

Due to some earlier miscommunication between the group the storyboard had to be changed, so it now there is a new storyboard that the group and I worked together to create.

The storyboard had to be changed due to miscommunication with a group member, so the group has had to come up with a new idea and storyboard. After we finish this we'll begin looking at possible places to film and do a recce, where we have chosen a day where we'll all go out and look at places. So once we find an ideal/suitable place we'll take pictures and sort out where each part of the sequence will happen.
