MAIN TASK: 'Create the opening of a new feature length film to include sound and to last no longer than two minutes.' All audio and video must be students own work. Audio may be obtained through a copy right free source.
We were told that our film had to be an adaptation of a book that had not been released as a film. So in our group we did some research to find appropriate books for our film, this was difficult for us in the beginning as we had such a huge range of books to chose from but also some of the narratives were not satisfying us. We had searched in our school library, the internet and even Whatpad an app on androids. Finally we decided on "Running on the Cracks" as this was suggested and read by a member in our group.
Running on the Cracks is award-winning writer Julia Donaldson's first novel aimed at a teenage audience. It was published in 2009. (See Synopsis in the FILM TREATMENT for the details).
