YOUR NEXT DEADLINES - TO WEEK END 12TH DECEMBER

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.
