Explain your idea in 25 words & post


You have to do this because I said so,  because the chief examiner said so.
If you want to pass, do as I say, ok.

Remember, all your footage must be filmed over half term!

Before you film, make sure your characters know what is expected of them...


How not to do it...

18th October

All research & planning coming to an end now.

Remember to label all your posts very clearly and you must have at least two posts each week.
Your aim for this week is to:
1. Get one page of your storyboard filmed and edited as an animatic, this means putting transitions and sound on, perhaps a voice over, even special effects.



Look here for links explaining this first and here
2. Set up 'logistics' of filming over 1/2 term. Create a shooting schedule that details, equipment, props, locations, who, what, where, how etc.


You may find it useful to create a call sheet for the different locations:

The daily call sheet is a filmmaking term for a sheet of paper issued to the cast and crew of a film production, created by an assistant director, informing them where and when they should report for a particular day of shooting. Call sheets also include other useful information such as contact information (e.g. phone numbers of crew members and other contacts), the schedule for the day, which scenes and script pages are being shot, and the address of the shoot location. Call sheets may also provide logistical information in regards to the location. It is common to find weather information, sunrise/sunset times, local hospitals, restaurants, and hardware stores. Call sheets also detail information about cast transportation arrangements, parking instructions and safety notes



Here is an example of a call sheet or production sheet, note how detailed it is.


3. Pick 5 points from your research that you have discovered and that influenced your ideas. Make the connection between your research and your product explicit.
