The making of our Storyboard

Friday 17th October
Today we went to the CLC ( City learning centre ) to help us with our camera and editing techniques using the programme premiere pro where we had to make three shot clips to practice our editing, cutting and filming. In one of the tasks we had to cut clips and edit so the voices were in sync with the actual images, however, due to some misunderstanding, our clips were did not turn out easy for the group when it came to editing, therefore we must take on board everything we have learnt today. Also, make sure that when filming, we have 3 seconds active before actually filming. At the end of the day we were given filming equipments which Sarah took home to help us with filming tomorrow.

With our ideas all ready to be filmed we transferred them into our storyboards where we filmed each box one by one to make our animatic for the film. This is where our storyboards are turnt into movies with music to create a rough version of our actual movie. This will help show us whether the movie will be successful or not. We have arranged to all meet on Saturday to film this piece of coursework, meeting at 5 o'clock onwards where as a group we hope will work out as planned.



Monday 13th October
After catching up, and sharing all our ideas with each and other again, we have come to a final decision of having it set at the auditorium at the Royal Festival Hall (Waterloo) Where Sewell suggested after receiving permission by the members of staff on the terrace of level 5. The first scene to be shot is a travelling shot of the first person walking through the auditorium, then a shot of the second person looking through the glass windows approaching the first person where they finally exchange dialogues. To help us we needed two characters, one woman and one man. After discussing on what each characters would fit the criteria asked we have decided to have a man who worked at South bank centre and a girl who was a student at our sixth form, where we could change a few things for them to fit the criteria without too many hassle.



Friday 10th October
On this day I was away for this particular lesson, while my group who consist of( Sewell, Kanar and Sarah) came up with some ideas for our storyboard. For this day that i missed, they looked at several case studies of previous works from students of the same age, that will help us with our coursework so we had an idea of what our target was. I have caught up with the group discussing what we needed to take into account such as different camera angles, use of characters, Filming techniques, props etc. Using the codes and conventions of this particular film genre. After discussing with the group about what i had missed, each member of the group shared their ideas. Sarah suggested on having this film set in a park where someone is running through, feeling panicked and scared towards a mysterious person pushing a gate. Whereas, on the other hand, Kanar came up with the idea of someone sitting in a dark room wearing dark clothes where the other person is in the spotlight.
