Preliminary Task: Creating A Storyboard From Initial Ideas

12 Shot Challenge

In todays lesson, we were tasked with the '12 Shot Challenge' - This is where we have only 12 shots to complete our Preliminary Task. To begin with, we created a list of our ideas for camera shots, camera angles and camera movements:

1. An establishing shot of the field and the base in the background.
2. Long shot of un-named figure from behind walking towards the base.
3. Crabbing shot (close-up) of the figures feet.
4. Birds eye view of figure climbing through a window.
5. Mid-shot of figure (from the inside) climbing through the window, pan slowly towards the door as the figure walks towards it.
6. Close-up of hand on the door.
7. Girls Point-of-View of door opening and the figure walking towards her.
8. Mid-shot of duct tape getting ripped off the girl.
9. Over the shoulder shot facing towards the figure.
10. Close-up of girls face.
11. Extreme close-up of girls teary eyes.
12. Over the shoulder shot facing the figure who then proceeds to take off the mask.

We then created storyboards, created dialogue for the characters and imagined what the shots would look like whilst filming.

Here are the storyboards:

 

Storyboards For Preliminary Task 

This exercise has helped me understand how to pre-plan for tasks within media. I have learnt the importance of planning as it helps me visualise the final product of the Preliminary Task.

Preliminary Task: First Ideas

An unidentified figure opens a door and walks into a dim lit room with a young female tied up in the centre. The figure then proceeds towards the girl and rips the duck tape from her mouth. Conversation continues and the girl, at the end, finds out who her kidnapper is.

Me As Consumer On The Media.

The Media.

Films:

Everyone uses the internet to expand their knowledge and connect with other users.

You can use the internet for anything but I take advantage of the internet to watch films, research about all types of films and find out how to become apart of the film industry. The picture below shows you some films from different genres in one image.

 There is a range of different types of films, for example, drama, romance, action, comedy and my favourite  horror. All these films are accessible on the internet from being downloaded onto a lot of websites and social media sites.

Suicide Squad Trailer
The title above is for a new movie that is being released in August 2016. The film is classed as action but it also highlights a bit of horror as some parts of the film is very sinister and intense.
