Deadline Two - February 14th - Midnight

Here's an interesting video on why storyboarding is an essential stage of planning for any film maker

This is  list of what you need to produce for your next deadline.

1. A post-it note storyboard,

2. Using this, you will produce 2 animatics -
a) ONE WHERE EACH SHOT IS EXACTLY THE LENGTH THAT YOU INTEND FOR THE FINAL FILM, AND THE TOTAL LENGTH IS 2 MINS,
b) ANOTHER WITH A COMMENTARY, LASTING MUCH LONGER (EG 10-15 MINS), WHERE YOU ALL DISCUSS HOW SHOTS DEVELOP FROM THE FRAME IN THE STORYBOARD, HOW LIGHTING WILL BE DESIGNED, SOUND DESIGN AND MOVEMENT (CHARACTER AND CAMERA).

3) YOU ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO RESEARCH DURING THIS STAGE. NOW MAKE YOUR RESEARCH COUNT MORE TOWARDS THE PROCESS - EXPLAIN WHAT YOU ARE INSPIRED BY.  You can revisit your 4 research thriller openings and add this to the post - what you particularly liked.

4) A synopsis for the whole film narrative from which this will be the opening (about 100 words),

5)  The script for any dialogue,

6)  List of roles (see pre-production planning advice)

7) Images / video footage of locations and decisions about locations,

8) Prop research and justification in terms of character and story

9) Health and safety, including risk assessments for filming and use of equipment.
 

10) Lighting decisions.

Blog Heading “Pre-Production Planning”(clearly label which group member has taken responsibility for each of the various posts).

Again, consider blog format – images, text, screen grabs, embedded video, hyperlinks, etc

If you want to film over half term, this needs to be handed in earlier in order that we can check it through and grant permission
