Planning : Preliminary Task First Ideas

The task we were set was to write down our thoughts and ideas onto an A3 piece of paper. Our preliminary task is to film a short clip using different camera angles. Then we have the two people sitting down in a class, then they say a knock knock joke to each other. 
This uses different shots such as the establishing shot as the actor is walking towards the school. Then there will be a P.O.V, mid shot, match on action and a shot/reverse shot as well.
We will probably add more to this as we think of more ideas as these are our first notes.
We are using the tracking shot as one of our camera movements as well.

  1. You have made a good start to the course and I am pleased with the evidence of work that has been posted onto your blog. You have shown that you are able to complete all of the basic tasks necessary to make your blog appealing and informative for your target audience - the OCR moderator.

    You are missing evidence of the photographs of your storyboard panels and need to publish these to your blog.

    As we move forwards I would now like you to try to develop the following 2 step approach to all posts whenever possible:

    Describe the task that you have completed (in detail if you want a level 4 mark)

    Explain what you have learnt from completing this task (again, detail is required for level 4)

    The necessary third step is not something that can be detailed in your posts but it is an important one. It is vital that you apply the learning to ensure that you produce coursework of a big standard.

    So. Move from describe, to explain to apply.

    Can you reply to this comment and explain to me what you have learnt from the process of storyboarding?

    1. The task me and my group had to do was called "the joke". We used the story board method to show what we have done. This is in the post above. I have learnt a lot from storyboarding. The 1st think i have learnt is that using storyboards makes it a lot easier to know where you need to go next with the filming. Another thing i learnt was that you don't have to film in the order of the scenes of the storyboards. You can go in whatever order you like.

  2. Thanks for posting the storyboard pictures Tom.

    You have made some observations on the benefits of storyboarding but I think you could have provided a little more detail. What would happen if you just went out to film the footage required for your preliminary task without having gone through the storyboarding process?

    1. It would not have been as detailed on each of the shots if a storyboarding method was used.
