Homework

• Find a trailer thats similiar set up as our idea and break it up as a timeline, analyse

Films to watch

• Acronophobia - 1994
• Bug movies/ Swarm movies
• Tarantula
• Eight Legged Freaks

We have come a lot closer to a defined story structure and now have a good strong idea so all thats left is to go back and sort out who are cast is going to be, a better idea of the locations and the spiders but I feel the story is getting stronger all the time we are adding in little details the story is becoming clearer.
