Post 6: Shot List and Story Board

This post will display our groups shot list and storyboard part of the planning process for our preliminary task.


This is our groups Shot List


Section B : The thought process to our shot list was mainly thinking about the area we have avaliable to film in and how the shot sizes would like on camera. We also looked at the script to see when  the most emotion is show in the actors, this determined what shot sizes to use, of instance chloe is crying near the end of the script so we chose a close up to show chloes emotion.

Rule of Thirds Research
 The rule of thirds is a principle where you break the image into 3rds vertically and horizontally this will break the image into 9 sections. By using the rule of thirds it indicates the four main points of interest you should focus on as the main areas of the image. By having a main feature on the line people will be drawn to that feature of the picture.
