Prelim Task 2: Planning

Bullet points of editing techniques
and camera angles/ shots we were
planning to use

For the planning it was essential that we prepared thoroughly for the filming process as this would only be for me and most of my groups second time ever actually filming something so planning was essential if we wanted to avoid making any minor amateur errors. To do this we first of all looked at the previous scene that we made and wrote down any errors that we made which were things like a lack of variety to the editing techniques and camera shots made and bad sound quality. We then chose to look over the brief again to make sure we had a clear understanding of what are task was and we also looked over some information on continuity editing so we had more knowledge on the different editing techniques available to us. To adjust our errors we first of all rewrote our script to ensure there was room to put in any new editing techniques, and then wrote down a bullet point list of all the editing techniques and camera shots/ angles that we were going to use and at what point we was going to use them so we had a clear idea and structure to how the scene was going to go. What we then realized was that structure was the exact thing that we were missing last time and this can go down mostly to the fact that we failed to do a storyboard of are scene, something which Mr. Rosen highlighted was one of the pivotal parts of film making. So to correct this I and John made sure we both did the storyboard with John doing the first half and me doing the second half whilst Laurence planned the costume and location of the scene. When finished the storyboard we felt we had done everything to ensure that our scene had a clear and effective structure to it which would then make the filming process a lot easier and simpler.


Below is the story board of events created by me and John.
