This will be set in a place which looks almost empty
with no people, just a temple, grass, a few trees &

scruffy with dirt on his clothes, as if he woke up from

bad headache.

includes suspense. It would be suitable for 12A +

13. Skills audit to date
Equipment:
When we using the equipments, we have to be extra careful inside and
outside of college. The equipments are costly and if anything happens to the
equipments, the cost will fall on our shoulders. We have been given a
tutorial on how to use the equipments and how to handle them with care.
The lessons learnt in tutorial will be used in action.
Software:
Over the half of the course period, we have learnt on how to use Final Cut
Pro. We have learnt how to edit videos, add soundtracks and make a title
sequence. We also learnt how to use Soundtrack Pro in order for us to make
a custom soundtrack, by mixing different sounds, for our thriller opening.

14. Health & Safety
There are many risks that should be taken into factor when
shooting for the movie. For example, the camera can be
mishandled.
For some of our effects we have to stay cautious when we
use our props for example, like the kunai. We have to make
sure we don’t mishandle it.
Make sure people are aware of tripods or any other
equipment so nobody falls over
Make sure health & safety forms are filled in.
