Improved Shooting Schedule


How we improved from the original shooting schedule
  • We increased times between each shot to allow us more time to get the perfect clip, and because it seemed unrealistic to create some of the shots in the time slot given.
  • We also added extra instructions for us to look at in order to make it easier for us to stick to the timelines.

StoryBoard Effectiveness

After creating a storyboard it has allowed us to create a crystalline idea of how the scene will be captured and it forced me to think about the separate shots of our scene, meaning that it has given us an idea as to how our scene will look when on paper. We have chosen certain shots, such as, low angle shots to show power, in order to create certain states for the audience to empathise with to create tension. After completion however, there are certain things in the storyboard such as the last four shots which have been cut and replaced for an office setting however the actions are the same. Therefore we have substituted our original scene idea for new shots after putting the scene down on paper.
