Filming to Start Monday

Now we have completely finished the planning of the task, tommorow (Monday) we will start filming during the double lesson.

Production roles as follows:

Ash - Acting

Jess - Acting

Harry - Camera

Pete - Directing/Sound

Hopefully we can get most - if not all filming completed, as it is only a short sequence.

Photos of the filming in progress will be posted on Tuesday.

Below is a few examples of the sound effects and music we may put on during the edit, but these are not final, just some research.

Preliminary Task

Pre - Production
Ideas + Shot List


The initial idea for our first exercise is a meeting between Ash and Jess, Ash will drop off a case of money, to 'pay off' Jess for her keeping quiet about something he has done, he is really worried about the drop off, this will be made known through the shots and sound of the film. The film will currently be shot in the English block, unless no rooms are avaliable, then it may be changed.

A list of the shots is below:

Storyboarding

After this was completed, Jess worked on the storyboard. This is where the shot list has been turned into a drawn/cartoon version of how each shot will look, underneath each shot is a breif description of what will happen in the shot. Below are some photos of the completed storyboard, this along with the shot list will be used when we film to help us create an accurate production.
