Planning: Storyboard

Here are my final storyboards which I have created for my preliminary task.

Preliminary exercise

Preliminary exercise:

Continuity task involving filming and editing a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom she/he then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue. This task should demonstrate match on action, shot/ reverse shot and the 180- degree rule. 

Main task: 

The titles and opening of a new fiction film, to last a maximum of two minutes. 
All video and audio material must be original, produced by the candidates, with the exception of music or audio effects from a copyright- free source. 
Students should work in groups. Maximum of four members. Groups stay the same for the preliminary exercise and the main task. 

Planning: Mis-en-Scene

This is a French term which means 'put in the scene'. Mise-en-scene includes things such as costume and props. In a piece of film or television everything that appears in a shot should be there for a specific purpose.

Costume

The Boss: 

• Smart wear (shirt & tie) 

Hitman

• Smart wear (Suit & Tie)
• Smart shoes (especially for the opening scene where you watch the Hitman walking)
• Sunglasses (black, formal sunglasses)

Props

• Desk (could just be an ordinary table but needs to be able to fit 2 characters on each end)
• Pen and Paperwork (will be placed on the desk)
• Chair (any)
• Envelope (Stuffed with paper to look like money)

Preliminary task

In today's lesson we sorted ourselves into groups and began to create the plan of our Preliminary task. I'm in a group with Josh Thorley We named our group Hungry Films.-

Our preliminary task would consist of two characters having a short conversation, we worked together to create the following screen play:

Interior: Drama Hall: Afternoon
Characters: Hitman and 'The Boss'

Screenplay: The Hitman swings open the large door and cautiously walks in, he walks over to the desk in where The Boss is sitting waiting for him, he takes a seat opposite the boss and they exchange dialougue and then the hitman walks out the room nervously.

Script:
Hitman: Got the money?
The Boss: Here it is, get it done quick!
Hitman: Are you sure?
The Boss: Yeah, now go!

Research: Camera shots

Today we tested all the shots that we have just learnt and all of the pictures are below -

Close up - Characters face and shoulders

Extreme close up - Eyes, nose, ears etc

Mid shot - waist up

long shot - Head to toe

Extreme long shot (Establishing shot) - Character and scene

Two shot - two characters in shot 

Research: Learning Camera Techniques

Today we learn the different camara shots and movements, we learnt the following:

Camara shots: 
Extreme long shot - see the scene around the character
Long shot - head to toe 
Mid shot - waist up
Two shot- two characters in frame
Point of view - what the character is looking at
