Filming our Prelim

In this picture we are in the middle of filming our preliminary. We wee the first group to perform so it was a slightly but nervous but after being up for about 5 mins I think we gained a lot more confidence. We had to name each one of our scenes so that when it came to editing our preliminary we were able to identify which clips we needed and which ones we didn't need. I think our group worked really well and we're able to complete the the prelim, ready to be edited.

We also had a storyboard that we made, which would help us on which shots to use. However we didn't shoot each frame in order. We shot them according to where the camera was. Since both shot 2 and 5 were in the same angle, we decided to shoot them at the same time as moving the camera may have disrupted each shot.

There were a few shots where they didn't go as accorded. In shot 1 my head was cut off so we had to repeat it again so that my head wouldn't be cut off and in shot 4 we eneded up laughing so we had to do a second take.

We also used the surrounding so to our advantage as for shot 7 we needed the scene to be really dramatic. We achieved this by turning of the lights and having a torch shone on Alicia's face. The blinds were also closed to make the room darker. However by doing this we broke the continuity of our prelim.

Remember me - Storyboard 
This was my storyboard that I created for the opening of BBC'S Remember me'. This was my first attempt so it was a bit rough but I was able to notice quite a few of the shots used, which are included in the storyboard, as well as sound and the effect it creates. I was also able to understand why a story board is used by many directors as a way to know exactly what needs to be filmed for how long and the shots needed.
