Risk Assesment
There are risks involved in filming,firstly the camera strap could get caught, trapped, or pulled which could be dangerous for the person wearing the strap around their neck. To prevent this we will be careful how the camera hangs around our neck.Another danger is the tripod, if the tripod, if someone isn't being careful they may trip over or walk into the tripod, to prevent this we will not leave the camera unattended and we will be careful when moving the tripod. Also if someone picks up the tripod they could accidentally hit someone with it, so we will be cautious when moving it. We have a few outside shots, a danger to this is traffic, to prevent any accidents we will not work in the road and be very wary of traffic. We also won't film in the dark as someone could get hurt. A danger with the camera is that someone might drop it to prevent this we will make sure that the person holding the camera will be very careful with it and handle it sensibly.

Audience Research: Synopsis
In our title sequence we will show four girls getting ready in their bedrooms.
The girls are very girlie, so many girlish things will be shown, such as make-up, fashion, and the colour pink. However, one of the girls is different. Her bedroom will not be as girly as the other girls’ rooms and she will not be such a “chick”. The audience will see the girls texting each other. Therefore the audience will know that they are friends and that they are going to meet. Because of photos the audience will know that one of the girls has a boyfriend. In another shot the girl who is different will look at a photo of the same boy and it will be very obvious that she fancies him, which is a sign for turbulences later in the film.

Initial Plan Of Film
We had a group meeting and started to do the initial plan of our film.
We thought about characters that we would have we decided on having 4 girls and 1 boy.
1. The first girl would be the queen bee, the popular one that people want to be.
2. The second girl is the queen bee wannabe, she follows the girl and wants to be her.
3. The third girl is just a tag along, she is slightly 'ditzy' and doesn't really care about her role in the group.
4. The fourth girl is an outcast in the group, she doesn't want to be there and she likes the queen bees boyfriend
The male is the queen bees boyfriend, he actually likes the girl who is the outcast but he is with the popular girl for his reputation.
We have some casting ideas but they are not finalized at the moment, our ideas are Megan Stanley, Emily Nicholson, Molly Hall and Toni- Leigh Porter. An idea for the casting of the boy is Joe Woods.
We are going to film in four different bedrooms for the girls, they are getting ready and that is what will happen in the titles. The bedrooms will be 'girly' and slightly messy as the girls will be getting ready. We may also show the male character in a bedroom on the computer. The props we will need are a mirror, camera, make up, photos, clothes, shoes and other girls things that you may find in their bedroom.
As we are filming indoors we will not have problems with weather or light but we will ask for permission when we use property and equipment.
In the opening sequence we will show the girls getting ready in the morning, this will introduce us to each character and we will see what they are like, as we only have 2 minutes so we have to use photos and close ups to show their status.
The titles will be written on objects, the characters names will be written in different fonts and colours. Similar to how the titles are shown in Romy and Michelles high school reunion. Tilt shots are widely used in chick flicks so we will use some tilt shots in our title sequence.
