Story Boards for Opening Sequence

Here are the story boards for our opening sequence. We tried  to include a variety of camera shots, movements and angles. We tried to create a clear narative with out telling the whole story and giving too much away.

Preliminary Task - Planning

For our preliminary task we were asked to create a short scene. The scene had to include someone walking through a door with a match on action shot as well as a shot reverse shot with dialogue. Before we could she our scene it was important that we have storyboards so we coukdkeep track of what shots we needed to film. Here is a picture of our storyboards. After the storyboard had been completed we were then able to start filming.

 

Short Scene Recreation - story board

The next task we were set was to recreate a short scene of our choice. This task will help me practice my camera work and will give me a good opportunity of following through on planning. my group chose recreate the begging of 'scream' from High School Musical 3 Senior Year. We chose this scene because it has a variety of shots and camera movement but it was still slow paced and simple enough for us to try ourselves. Before we could start we had to plan by making a short story board of what we wanted to film. Due to limited locations and costume we had to choose key and stand out moments in order to recreate the scene effectively.
Here is a photo of our story board.

Next we would be able to begging filming our scene. 

Camera Shots Task

My group and I were set a short task in order for us to practice using the camera equipment. We were asked to plan and create a short piece of film including a variety of shots using different angles and techniques. Before we could film our shots we needed to plan what kind of shots we were going to try out, in order to plan we needed to make story boards so we had something to follow whilst filming. Here is the picture of our story board for our first shoot.We included a two panning shots, a over the shoulder medium shot as well as a tilt up shot.

Our next task was to film what we had planned to do then edit them into one short clip.
