Our first filming experience

In our first lesson we were set he task of making a video of someone walking into a room, and having a short conversation with somebody in that room. The first thing that we were told to do was get into a group of people that we would feel comfortable working with. I ended up working on this project with Jane, Ollie, and Izzi. After discussing our idea and deciding on a rough plan we came up with our ideas on what we wanted to happen in this short film. We planned all of our ideas out onto our first story board.

Our first story board was not very good. This is because we did not take enough time to draw in all of the small details of the camera shots. We also could have improved on the story board by making sure to write a lot more about each individual drawing so that our actual camera shots could have been more accurate to what our original ideas were. Story boards are important when making a film because it makes everything happen a lot faster because you have planned what you are going to do.
