Mark so far

There is minimal research into similar products and a potential target audience.
There is minimal organisation of actors, locations, costumes or props.
There is minimal work on shotlists, layout, drafting, scripting or storyboarding.
There is a basic level of care in the presentation of the research and planning.
Time management may not be good.

Overall - 1/20 Level 1

Targets:
Alex, you have a lot to do. You must include primarily STORYBOARD, sHOT LIST and DRAFT SCRIPT. This is key to moving up a level.
You should post some images of possible locations and actors, along with explanations as to why they are appropriate.
You must analyse the openings of similar films, and some work on audience profiling is essential. Create questionnaires to establish the needs of your target audience. Look at the Pearl and Dean website (link on Therfield Media blog) for help on audience profiling.

Plot for opening scene

The killer slowly moves down the stairs where he is disturbed by a noise, he then hides around the corner of the stairs for his victim to settle down. he then moves into the room that his victim is sitting in and without hesitation plummets the knife several times into the victims back.
