review filmaking marrisa Johnson

Film making
Today we filmed and we managed to do most of the work. The rule was we have to be in groups going to more than 4 different locations which were; park, car park, court yard and a street near college.
Park- we did not film but I managed to do parkour training,
Street near college- we filmed a chase scene which just needed 1 retake because in the first shot was my opponent was too close and retake was really good. The second part was good when we had to climb stairs.
Courtyard- this went well but we needed so many retakes which we will do next week
Positive points
we improvised
we made some films
we stayed positive

Negative points
we need retakes
we still need to edit
bad timing.

Proposal

proposal
story- A kid getting bullied by someone and one person defends him. There would be three actors and it will be a Digetic film. I will put some special effect in. The main story is when a person walk towards other person then he gets bullied and later other person comes to defend him.The film is targeted as 12A, no guns and violence.
Camera setup -the cameras will be activated with tripods, and it will be located near the actors. After each scene the camera will move on to a different location.
the sounds are creepy music.
our audience is 12A.

I am going to try making an action film with some thriller scenes and the actors will have some facial expression to show the audience how the characters feel, there might not be a dialogue but it can be shown as facial expression. 
time target 1-2 minutes.

My video production matches this film because it include theft and dangerous climbing where kids can not do parkour unless you are 15 and over, it will be a chase scene till end of the movie which is called climax. At climax we will leave a secret message for people.
I will give the rating 15 because it has some of teenager activity which can not be done younger than 15.
Me and my group decided to go with 12A because we don't have any violence and strong language

preproduction paper work movie faye

The 

today we had to work on our storyboard for our film. I worked on digital storyboard and Kai worked on drawing a storyboard. We also talked about the shot types and props.. We discuss what to do in each scene. Some of scenes were dangerous so we had our teacher discuss, we were told that we have to look on the health and safety list. We also have to discuss with Marisa to see if we can do the scenes on the filming day. The scene is that I have to climb a very high walls we end up making a back up plan which we fin out on location recce lesson. I will not climb the high wall instead I will look for a medium wall. The scene is me climbing the wall so I am positive with the medium wall. From storyboards I learnt what props to bring and what to do on the filming day.


I made a digital storyboard matching the drawing one, the only difference was that it was digital. I had to find the matching characters and location, later I end up making a really good storyboard.
