Preliminary Task - Pre Production

For our task we had to work in groups of four. The task consisted of a short film being made, we had to include a character walking down a corridor, opening and walking through a door, and then swapping a few lines of dialogue with another character.

First of all our group had to create a story board which we planned and drew out. Camera angles were always a worry dyring the creation of the story board as we had to take into consideration what angles we would use and what angles were clear. Along side camera angles we had to include continuity, and character postions.

I had learned that next time when we create a story board we must make it a lot more detailed and clearer. We weren't as clear as we needed to be, we missed out on too many details, our drawings were too simple and we didn't explain our process enough which implicated the group who recieved our story board. We must learn from these mistakes so we can produce better pieces of work in the future.

Above are my groups story boards. As I have explained they aren't clear enough and are not at all easily legible, we are not surprised that the other groups short film was quite a way off what we had intended. When it comes for us to draw story boards for our final piece, I will have to use all my newly learnt skills from the Pre Production for example clearer and more detailed story boards.
