Research Plan

It is very important having a research plan because you need to know what you are going to do and how you are going to do it. It is also important so you have the right actors and the right location for your film.

Because our film is about a teacher and set in a school, we thought that it is the best idea to film it in our very own college site: Central Foundation Girls' Sixth Form.
not only is it easily accessible but it also fits the criterea for our film : Old, Dull and Dark.

We then looked into the location for the graveyard scenes, there are many graveyard/chuches around our college which we thought that would be great for our film, as most graveyards have the same look to it. The one which we decided that would be best is one that is very close to our college, we chose this because it is easy for us to get there and it would take much time for us and our actor to get there. The church is called New Teastament Church of God, and we will be filming outside.

For our film there is only one main character, it is very important that we get the right actor because they will need to be able to create the atmosphere that we want and need for the film, it is important for them to get it right.
We decided that having a teacher as our main character would be ideal as it is easier to contact them and we are familiar with them and they know who we are, I decided to look into the drama teachers in our school and thought that one teacher (Lee Davey) would be perfect for the role; this is because..
firstly he is a drama teacher so he wouldnt have any difficulties/insecurites of doing certain scenes (would be confident)
and secondly because he fits in to what my group and I had imagined what Mr.Smith would look like.
