TASK 3 2012: STORYBOARDS

Because of our highly organized planning in term 2, our storyboard did not need to be altered. Though there were subtle changes, none of them were as major as to change the story boards, i.e a shot was from a slight different angle. But we believe that our storyboards reflect our canned film to a format where one can easily use them to either, film our scene or be able to recognize that they are the same.


The file of our scanned storyboards that we used when filming is too large to attach to the file. But the storyboards are the same as they were when handed in.

TASK 3 2012: PLANING.PERMISSION FOR LOCATIONS

All our sets were inside the school grounds, the rooms that we had to get special permission for were;

Molfy Basement: because there was an art exhibition involved and Mr. Andrews granted us permission for the use of that room, on condition that he was to unlock it and that we were to ensure that it was locked when we came out

Science Lab: because of basic safety regulations. Mrs. Tiplady granted us that permission on condition that a teacher was always in the lab and there always was.

Hi Surf apartment: because it was a reasonably public place. The manager of the apartments gave us verbal permission (both before we filmed and when we got there in confirmation) to film on the 20th floor (which is technically the 19th floor because there is no level 13) and the elevator.

TASK 3 2012: PLANNING.PRODUCTION SCHEDULE

Blog update

Today we finished the filming. It was successful as we got everything done within the time and with about 10 minutes to spare! I know now that I will never ever be an actress. Never ever ever. Bit in filming we tried to use the light to the best of our abilities and the camera to use rules and I did use the golden ratio in a shot.
I left my sharpie locked in there, so if I find the time I better go in and get it.

But highly successful tonight and following I will upload all my updated shot lists, storyboards and treatment.

Update

Today we filmed in the lair scene. It went well and what we did get done was done really well. We also got Kerys in to play Ella and she was brilliant - probably the best actress! Well I don't know about the others, but I leaned some really good lighting techniques, but they heat up really fast. We did not get what we needed to get done, done so we are going to film in lunch times and afterschool on Monday cause no one is free in the weekend. We will probably have to also finish editing in lunch times and make the film as we go.
It is really stressful, and we have spent so many lessons more than the other groups and yet we are still struggling for the time so I am really scared.

Blog Update

Today we learned how to use final cut and it is surprisingly pretty straight forward to get the information into the program. We even started putting parts of the film together and I am glad it isn't taking too long. Tomorrow (thursday) we will be filming in the Molfy basement and Mr Andrews will hopefully be watching in. I know we haven't asked him to yet but most of our filming has been in school and the one good day for him to come in - well we just forgot.
So hopefully it won't be too late for him to give us some advice on everything and we can get this thing done because it is much better to be editing it than racing around and filming and acting, which i'm not really liking all too much.
