The idea i have chosen, is Idea 4 and this is my intended schedule for the 6 steps...
Step One: Make an entry outlining your idea for an original screenplay.
Step Two: Publish a research plan detailing how you will utilise primary and secondary research sources
Step Three: Make an entry when you have collated research and comment on them - remember that this is supposed to inform your idea, so provide evidence of how this is doing it!
Step Four: Read existing screenplays, then blog about them. What have you learned? Has this inspired your own writing?
Step Five: Read literature on screenwriting and review it. What have these publications taught you about writing?
Step Six: Revisit your original research - remember that writing and the research involved is always evolving... its your job as the writer to see where it leads you.
So my schedule is...
Step one and two are already completed.
Step Three will be completed by 19th October
Step Four will be completed by 21st October
Step Five will be completed by 24th October
Step Six will be completed by 25th October
I plan to use primary research in the form of a questionnaire in order to target the public directly, and for secondary research i will read previous statistics and information on what other people have found.

ScreenWriting Ideas
Idea 1- We came up with this idea as a group...
Genre: Horror Drama
Setting: Family home
Plot: There are two sisters who live in the family home, one of them is killed, but no one knows who it was or how she died, although the audience know she was poisoned. The sister that is still alive is greeted by a ghost which turns out to be her sister and she helps her to try and find out who it was and why they did it. She thinks it was their horrible step mother but the twist is that it was actually her father. He did it because they are a religious family and he thought she was possessed. So the other sister runs away.
Idea 2
Genre: Mystery, Drama
Setting: Family house/Town
Plot: There are Twin brothers, one dies in what is thought to be a car crash. The other brother starts to get weird signs and feelings that it could have been something else. He discovers that someone had put something in his car which made it blow up, so the brother goes out to find the man that did it. He suspects their next door neighbour, an old man who has never liked them.
Idea 3
Genre: Mystery
Setting: Holiday Resort
Plot: Twin brothers again but this time they go on holiday with a group of their friends. One man spots a bracelet they have on with a certain symbol on it, he believes it's to do with the devil so follows them around. They start to notice that he is following them and get worried. One night the man follows them to a night club and they have to try and escape through the crowds of people.
Idea 4
Genre:
Setting:
Plot: A girl has a dream about a worldwide disaster and when she wakes up, she doesn't remember the dream but as she goes along with her day she starts to notice and recognise things and people that shes never seen before. She doesn't think anything of it until she gets home and starts to watch the news, there is a warning saying a huge flood is coming. She then remembers that the whole day has happened before but in her dream. She realises that her dream is coming to life! She doesn't want to sleep that night in case something else happens. She eventually falls asleep and the whole story is shown to her, she then tries to stop all these things happening.
