Storyboard Prelim Task

Firstly on the prelim task we were set into small groups, people who typically I wouldn't usually work with but however we still worked well together through good use of communication. We all found the task quite humorous at times as we made eachother laugh as well as the scene being funny itself trying to keep a straight face. The first thing we did as a group was make a storyboard depicting what was going to be in each scene as well as what camera shots we were going to use too. For the storyboard we had a sheet with six boxes on and a few lines of writing underneath. Inside of the box was a rough sketch of what in that perticular scene we as a group decided we wanted to see, this sketch was typically a stick drawing with very little detail,.as none of our group could draw properly but however it was still manageable that you were able to tell what it is. We knew what we wanted to see in each scene as previously before this we wrote a rough story intro and we also brainstromed some rough ideas too. Then in the lines underneath the boxes were short snappy decisions of what is happening in that scene, we also wrote what camera angle we wanted to use. We decided we wanted to have around six or more camera angles in the whole prelim that were all different these included long shot, close up, mid shot, pan, shot reverse shot and extreme long shot. These shots would compliment eachother quite well we thought. As well as making the storyboard we also planned out the narrative and all the dialogue. This is so our actors knew what they were going to say, so that it wasnt just made up on the spot. None of these decisions were completely set in stone however as we thought we might come up with better ideas throughout.
