1. The action: identify the event your idea is based around; what actually happens (discovery of a body, an illicit meeting, a witness seeing a crime being committed, a criminal act taking place, a telephone call, a chase, a short journey etc)?
2. The theme(s): what should it make the audience think about or feel, what ‘issues’ will it raise (revenge, sexuality, voyeurism, stalking, obsession, greed etc)?
3. The narrative: how is it structured - classic narrative pattern or break with convention, real time or different time zones, flashbacks/forwards, dreams etc. Will there be dialogue? What about diegetic/ non-diegetic sound?
4. The character(s): who are they, identify their roles, what are their characteristics, including gender, appearance etc?
5. The setting and choice of location: where is it set?
6. The mise-en-scene: identify colours, lighting, dress codes, the overall visual look
7. The camera work: the style you are aiming for
8. The editing: edited as a continuous sequence, use of cross cutting, use of montage, or combination?
