Perliminary Storyboard

Storyboard review for Preliminary task:

The aim of this preliminary task was to create a short clip using the 180 degree rule, match on action, and including a shot-reverse-shot. For our storyboard we wanted to show the camera angle/techniques, sounds and durations of the shots we wanted to film. To demonstrate the 180 degree rule, we wanted to film 2 people having a conversation across a table, filmed from one side of the table, to ensure we don't break the rule. For match on action we wanted to film someone walking up to a door, then a shot of them in the next room with the victim of our storyline.  Finally we wanted to show shot-reverse-shot by filming a conversation from a close up of one person, to the other, then back again to the first. The story line we wanted to show was a heated discussion between two friends, where one is in the wrong.  We wanted to use lots of short clips around 1-4 seconds each, using mid, and close up shots.  We divided up 2 pages of A3 paper so we had 12 clear boxes to plan shots in. One critic of our story bored was that we weren't very adventurous when planning camera angles we could film. However Our storyboard worked well as we added annotations and clear coloured diagrams to make it easier to look at when filming our preliminary.
