storyboard and planning

23/02/10 - (blog was written on 02/03/10)

Last week we were unable to do any of the blog because the servers were disabled, therefore we had to work on paper. During the planning of the main task we were asked to write our primary idea in the form of a storyboard, where we would say what the lighting would be like in each shot, what each shot would consist of, how long each shot would last, what type of shot it was and also give details of what would happen in that shot. This would essentially help us when in production of the film so we do not go off track, and so that we are prepared with a full script, rather than making it up as we go along; below is the planning for the task.

We are going to be filming in Stretford because it has the easiest access for all of our group members. We will also be using a canal, a pathway leading up to that canal, and also a member of our groups house. There will be one character; who starts at the canal and later goes home. The filming is going to take place in the day so our potential lighting is increased. We will be using an ipod, a mobile phone, and also a file full of notes as props in the filming. The filming is going to take place in the day so that we maximise our lighting.
