Planning for the Prelim Task

Planning



Brainstorm for the Prelim task

As a group we brainstormed a number of possible ideas. From the brain storm it will allow us to put together the prelim which will work best. The brain storm covered Camera, Sound, Location, Characters, Narrative, Editing, Mise-En-Scene and Dialogue. By including all these aspects it allowed us to cover all the things that would need to be included within our clip, meaning that as a group we can decide on what would work best together and create the best possible narrative.

Storyboard 

As a group we decided upon a narrative, then from that we came up with 3 potential ideas on the order of how to film the prelim task. From the 3 storyboards we discussed what would work better, then produced a final storyboard. This ensured we had the best possible way of filming the narrative.

First storyboard 

The first storyboard starts with the female character walking towards the door, she then walks towards a male sat on a bench. There is then dialogue between the two characters, the female character then runs off into the forest, trying to get away from the male character. The clip finishes by the female character leaning against a tree out of breath. The scene then fades out, and the audience see the titles 'I.O.U' 

Second storyboard

 

This storyboard starts with the female character running away from something, the character is running through the forest, and then throughthe use of an dissolve edit, a flash back shows why the female character is running. Other than this, the speech and locations are exactly the same.

Third storyboard

This storyboard is similar to the first, however the scene started with an extreme close up of the females feet walking towards the door. This will create suspense for the audience as they dont see the female character until she has walked out the door and is going to meet the male character sat at the bench.

 

Final storyboard   
This is the final storyboard, it is a combination of all previous storyboards. This storyboard starts with a extreme close up of the female characters shoes walking towards the male character sat on the bench. The first 5 shots of the sequence are the same as what is in the third storyboard we created. The clip then shows the female talking to a male about money she owes him. She then runs away into a forest trying to get away from him. The scene when the female character is running away is the same for each of the storyboards, therefore we used the same running scene in the final storyboard. The clip finishes with a fade out then the title 'I.O.U' appears on screen.
