Our Treatment

In our most recent lesson, Lauren and I did a film treatment explaining our film plot, demographics, psychographics and key characters. It also helped us to develop our ideas on our film opening and get a better view on how we would like it to turn out.

Harry Potter trip

A couple of weeks ago we visited the warner bro's studio and had a tour of Harry Potter. It was really interesting to see how they created everything and how effort went into every single costume, prop and scene, which I was surprised to learn how long it really took.
