To begin the process of storyboarding we assigned different people to write out the different shots..
We talked further about props and locations in order to include this information on the storyboard.
It is important to produce a two and a half minute sequence of a Horror or Thriller for part of our coursework.
Within my group there are four of us, myself, Storm Webster, Tom Cunningham and Stephanie Kufferath.
To start with we wrote down the list of shots, and then transferred this onto the storyboard template while adding in the location, action, the shot type and movement within the shot, the sound, the lighting, the edit transition and the timing.
After we typed all of this onto the template in order, Stephanie, the storyboard artist drew the pictures to go with the writing.
Myself, being the producer, had to make sure this was done accurately in order for it to run smoothly on the day of shooting and thereafter for editing. however, we have discussed as a group and decided that the editing may be slightly different to the storyboard in order to make the sequence look better.
The storyboard provides instructions to the sound and camera crew and helps the director to organise the scene.
These are the shots and action of the sequence:
1. The gate is closed and we see a car arriving and stopping in front of the gate
2. Tom goes out to open the gate and then drives through it (when the leaves blow up they from 'Milano Production Presents')
3. Shot out of one of the windows in the house seeing the car arriving (we see the breath on the window and then a 'A Storm Cunningham Film' is written in there

Reasonable as far as you have gone here. You do need to refer to the handout and include your Treatment and strory boards for the work.
ReplyDeleteYou also need to consider Audience and to evaluate every process that you go through. When Matt and Luke came in to help you with your ideas you need to evaluate the changes they suggested and the adaptations that you included.
