Don't forget to allow time to draw each frame of the storyboard (each frame representing the shot) with all of the information required.
Consult your notes, film language booklet and the displays on the classroom walls to remind you.
Timing notes are essential to plan effectively.
Allow plenty of time to produce the animatic, and notice any frames of the storyboard where you might not have thought about the progression of the shot (remember the storyboard only shows a frame or snapshot of the shot as a whole). Allow time to upload the animatic to youtube and then to the blog.
Best if you use a tripod, frame the entirety of the drawing.
You can put a commentary over the top
Each frame should last for the intended duration in your final film.

Extended deadline for Research Task!
Your first deadline for "Research work for Thriller Opening sequences" has been extended to Monday 8th Feb.
Read my previous posting to check what it is that you have to do and HOW.
Now that you have completed all the introductory work on narrative, you can also apply these terms, as well as all the others that you have learnt, in your write ups of opening sequences.
How do the various aspects of film language work to communicate meaning? Sound, Mise en scene, editing, camerawork.
Explain why you think the narrative begins as it does (does it conform to the classic structure, or not, and why?).
What is the effect on the spectator/member of audience?
What examples of enigma code, restricted/unrestricted narration, and binary opposition do you find? Can you explain the effects of each? Can you find examples of Subjective camerawork?
How effective as a thriller opening do you find it? Are there any techniques you would like to use in your own opening?
