13th and 18th November Lessons

13th November

In this lesson me and my group mostly prepared for filming next week. We created a basic script and then looked through each stage of our storyboard to see where diffrent bits of speech would fit in well with the shot, this meant that we took out out quite alot of the dialogue so that everything works well. After finishing a rough draft of the script we had a look at one of the proper film scripts on ilearn and saw the complicated format which it has to be write in, we began to understand most parts of it so that we can write our script up in the same format later on.
In this lesson we also wrote up the visual description of each of our shots in our storyboard so that when we come to film them we will know exactly what it is we need to film. We included any camera movements, shot types, actor movement and any lighting we will use.


18th November

In this lesson we came across a slight problem as Fred wasn't here with the script and the finished storyboard and we were prepared to film the majority of our scene today and he was also going to be acting as the other character in our scene along side me. So in the end we decided to set up the equipment in the photographies dark room anyway and test out what lights we wanted where and what worked well. We also did a few test shots to see how the positioning of the characters would look and moved around until it was clear which side the different characters will be on, so that we dont break the 180 degree rule. We agreed on doing the proper filming the next day after college when we would all be free.
