Preliminary Task : Creating A Story Board From Initial Ideas

We decided as a group that our task would involve two sixth formers where one os asking the other about a piece of coursework. This lead to the opening shot being an establishing shot to show the viewers where the scene is set. we managed to do this in 11 after being set a challenge to do it in 12 shots using a range of different camera shots, movements and angles. 



In the lesson I learnt how to create a storyboard in which I only used 11 out of 12 camera shots to plan an effective short clip, I also learnt about the looking space involved in the filming of shots where a character has room in the shot to look into. I also learnt how to use arrange of camera shots, movements and angles effectively.
