Main Character Sketches

Together we were trying to find what our main character would look like so that it would give us a good idea of who we should cast for the role. This is our idea of what the character should look like. We also where trying to play around with the stereotypes e.g. we wernt going to cast someone with blonde hair because they would look to inocent. We will select our main character soon and all the information will go on our shot list.

Camera Practice

heres us having a rough go to get the feel with a camera just so we could work out what was the best way to do the 180 degree shot.

First Shot,Prop and character list

This is our first initial shot list which gives us a rough idea of what we need and who we want to use and where abouts we will film. This list will get bigger as we start to film and it will also change in some areas.

First Draft Annamatic

Our Task:

Our task was to produce a rough animated storyboard containing cuts, fades etc for the first 2 minutes of our main project which included a title sequence. We firstly discussed and created a shot list which we then drew up a storyboard. This is only our first draft anamatic using all of our story board sketches that as a group we produced using combined ideas and cooperation. However we inverted the sketches to show our white images against a black background. We will improve our animatic until it is perfect then we can actually go out and start filming our proper piece. We only have a few improvements that need to be made which is included in the feedback. But overall our anamatic successfully displays our film in a rough way. However a shot that seems unclear is shot 10. This is because we are breaking the 180 degree rule and that is why the shot is so long. Our animatic was hard to portray because we only had still images to use however we added in a few effects and annoted shots such as shot 10 but otherwise everyone got the idea of our shots.

Our Piece:

Our Feedback:

The inverted images were very effective.

A wide variety of shots were used.

However, too short, we may need: longer shots

Missing titles: actors and actresses, the title of film, cinematography, editor, sound, producer, director.

Diegetic sound is needed

The pace of editing is good, a good sense of continuity
