4/11/2014 - In this meeting we began the story board process by researching different films which have the same themes which we intend to incorporate into our film.

7/11/2014 - In this meting we evaluated our film pitch in order to determine our target audience. From this evaluation we found that our class liked the idea of apocalypse and the nuclear bomb disaster. 

10/11/2014 - In this meeting we came to finish our mood-board this gave us some costume ideas and location ideas which we began to look for on google maps. We did this to find some areas which looked suitable for our film. 

11/11/2014 - We found out that we had the use of a remote control car in this meeting because of this we have adjusted out storyboard because after viewing the footage we could capture we felt it would add a good tracking shot because it is very steady. 

12/11/2014 - In this meeting we decided to get some recce shots of our locations in order to figure out where we wanted to film and if we are able to film in the locations we want to.  

13/11/2014 - In this meeting we began our titles research in order to see what fonts we want to put into our titles to give them the correct feel. We are making a list and then we are going to ask our group which one we feel will fit best in meaning we will get the best results.  

14/11/2014 - In this lesson we organised our lap charts which would help us become more organised and ensure we know what we are suppose to be doing to ensure we get all the paperwork done and finished before we go out to film. I said i would do the Synopsis plan of our film and thew risk assessments.

18/11/2014 - For this meeting we decided on our shooting locations we will mainly be filming in Ongar in Essex. We have access to a large barn in which we can film. 

20/11/2014 - We sent Lee to take some recce shots of the location because t is close to his house and will give us ideas of what shots we can film. We decided that we would need a clear dry day in order to give our film the correct feel.
