Main task, Pre-Production - Tuesday 8th March

For the media studies main task coursework, the media groups changed and shifted around the class and I was put into a group with Becca, Hayley and Chavers. So far, myself and my group have created a script, recruited cast members, asked permission for the location use of the school library and lastly have started to do research by the use of RAILING on the following films; 4 3 2 1, Kidulthood and Adulthood so we can gather information to understand the genre of social realism, psychological understand and teen gritty.
