AIM TO HAVE FINISHED FILMING BY THE END OF THIS WEEK (DECEMBER 12TH)- THIS IS YOUR DEADLINE IN THE BOOKLET.
Stage Three - Planning the sequence.
Match the brief to a simple storyline – a lover’s tiff,
teacher and pupil, job interview etc or you can do it in a thriller
format.
Location – Where will you film? Is it available?
Photograph it for the blog.
Costume – be ambitious and dress characters appropriately
Props – again be ambitious.
Lighting – do you want to create a particular atmosphere?
Then start to storyboard the 1 minute sequence. You will need to consider shot distance,
angle and movement, transitions, and ensure that you cover the 3 continuity techniques
mentioned.
Your
storyboard must use the correct format, and include all of the information
shown on page 25 of your booklet on Moving Image Language. It should also
include timing in seconds for each shot, and exact lines of dialogue, sound effects
and or music alongside the shot/s that it would be heard.
All this
needs to be uploaded to your Blog – divide the posts up between the group.
You should also produce an ANIMATIC of your storyboard - this is a filmed version, where each shot lasts exactly the number of seconds that you have planned for the final film. Edit this in Final Cut and upload to the blog.
Stage Four – before your
filming
Organise a
time to do your filming. Remember that
everything has to “come together” – props, locations, costumes, make up.
Make sure you
have organised your all equipment (camera, lighting, tripod)
Remind
yourselves of – WHITE BALANCE, FRAMING
OF SUBJECT, MAKING A SANDWICH,
Conduct a Health
and Safety check – do a risk assessment for your shoot and record this on your
blog.
Stage
Five - Start filming - You will be given only THREE
lessons to film.
