Storyboarding & Blog upkeep - Megan Southern & ASDA advert

Click on the pic for a link to Megan's section on Storyboarding.

This is how detailed your Storyboard needs to be...

Also, here's the George ASDA advert, filmed at ECS:

And the storyboard of that advert:

Research Questionnaire

This is the first bit of research that you need to have completed for your coursework/production and the deadline for this to be presented on your blogs is MONDAY 19th October - you CAN have the lessons to complete final editing/prezi making/ppt stuff.  

It's to get a grasp of current audience demand, demographics, contemporary topics of films, that kind of thing. Below is an example questionnaire that you can tinker with, edit and then produce in order to get your own feedback.

So, what you've got to do, as an INDIVIDUAL, not as a group, is a market poll/info drop of current audience demands for feature films.

It's up to you how you distribute your questionnaire - some people have done this via plain old hard copy, interview face-to-face, email, facebook, twitter.. whatever, it doesn't matter.  Although if you record yourself asking people these questions then that would be OUTSTANDING!!

 What matters are the responses and how you then format them ONTO YOUR BLOG in order to justify certain decisions you've made as a group in your filming.

The examiner will need to see these research results on your blog so make sure it's clearly presented and eventually labelled.

Coursework Task and Assessment Criteria:

This is your actual coursework task:

Main task: the titles and opening of a new fiction film,

Have a look at this school's website - especially the fees for being educated there: £11,000 PER TERM!!! That's £33,000 a year!! No WONDER they've got all the latest gear and gadgets..

It's a public school... and they weren't adults - they were paid actors...

Some older films - I think from about 3/4 years ago...

Storyboarding using 'Luther', 'Remember Me' & 'Music Box'

Storyboard Practice - Luther

Below is one of the best clips from Luther Series 3, ep 1.  It's the opening scene and so has a lot of establishing responsibility - use this clip to complete a storyboard.

Be as detailed as you can - shot, angle, sound, editing etc

Here's the storyboard template - there'll always be hard copies in 08 so DO NOT PRINT MILLIONS OF THEM..

Try to get into the habit of storyboarding everything, every idea, every location shot etc - and posting them on your blogs

And here's the 'Remember Me' trailer:

The Music Box to show 'running' and dark shots plus plinky plonky scary music.




And for the 'voices in the woods':

25 word Treatment Pitches

Unedited recordings of yesterday's SUPPOSED 25w pitches... Think it was only a couple of you that managed them, but the whole group discussions that followed were inVALuable...

Well done to the whole class!  Can't wait for Monday's final pitch from Mac1 (and also Mac2's second pitch).

Get these onto your blogs, people.

Photography/Filming

Have a look at this guy's film/photography sequences:

Pretty impressive, and some great ideas for making your own 'dolly'.
