Prelim Task

For the Prelim task we were put into groups with a genre that was picked form a hat. I was put into a group with Jess and Phoebe and we got the genre of Documentary.
At first we thought it was going to be difficult but after some thought and research we decided to do the documentary instead of asking to change because we had an idea about doing a documentary on serial killer because this allowed us to add other genre aspects into the documentary.
We did some research on female serial killers as we decided we should make a documentary on a female serial killer instead of male as male seems to be the norm for documentary's. We decided on Leonarda Ciancuilli - The Soap maker of Correggio.

This website shows the stories of female serial killers. Leonarda was an Italian female serial killer who murdered 3 women between the years 1939 to 1940. Once she killed she killed the victims she boiled the bodies down to soap and made the blood into cakes which she fed to our neighbours.
This interested us because it was different from the usual serial killer stories.

We made storyboards so that when filming we didn't lose track of what we were meant to be doing and then start making scenes up on the spot. We also made a production diary so we could keep track of what we have and haven't filmed
