Task list: planning

-
 1) Discuss what your preliminary exercise will involve – make notes on your blogpost of location, sequence of events, casting etc.
The preliminary task involves a girls bedroom where her friends/ piano teacher teaches to teach her how to play a song on the piano but get frustrated when she’s doing it wrong and then they finally press the same notes and end up with the right a ong.
2) Write a short script for the preliminary exercise. Remember, scripts outline movement and shots as well as dialogue. The BBC Writer's Room is a brilliant resource for tips and examples of TV scriptwriting. Here's a genuine TV script example from Luther to check you are formatting your script correctly.

The tension builds as the messages become increasingly urgent, inducing a sense of suspense and fear. The camerawork and cinematography in this Doctor Who clip are notable for creating a heightened sense of unease. The use of low lighting, close-up shots, and quick cuts contributes to a feeling of disorientation and dread. The camera movements mimic Sally's own disconcerting journey through the house, further engaging the audience in her experience.  One of the most significant aspects of this clip is the depiction of the Weeping Angels. These villains are presented as an embodiment of innate fears surrounding statues and the fear of the unknown. The idea that ancient stone sc
