Planning for production - storyboard (Aerial shot 1: Exam Hall)

Instead of going straight into drawing up our storyboard what we decided to do was to draw up three birds eye view pictures of three of the shots we plan to use in our storyboard, in these pictures we included images of what was actually going to be in that particular shots (props, camera position and shot type etc) and also the position of the characters in the shots. Our reason for doing this was because we felt that it would leave us better prepared when it came to filming, as seen with our prelim tasks not a lot of planning went into filming so we felt if we planned thoroughly this time the quality of our trailer would be much better.

Above is the birds-eye view drawing of one of the shots we plan to use in our movie which takes place in a exam hall and we plan to use at the beginning of our trailer. In the scene as seen in the drawing we plan to have a row of desks in the middle of the hall and one of our characters standing at the back of the hall whilst the other are seated at the desks. We have also chose to position our cameras at the front of the scene pointing towards the character at the back where we plan to use a high angled long shot which changes into a close-up. There is also a camera positioned at the right far hand corner of the image pointed towards the exit.
