Preliminary Task final version

Once the storyline had been agreed upon, I began drawing the storyboard which Tom then annotated.
 The shots chosen, such as the close-ups and over the shoulder shots were chosen to show the emotion on the faces of the characters at the giving and recieving of this news.

Preliminary Task-Planning

For my preliminary task I am working with: Matt Peal, Chris Vaites and Thomas Hogan.

In our first session we have planned our work through the use of a mind map.(below)


The story is of a pregnant girl, approaching the unknowing father and telling him the news of the pregnancy.

The first draft of the script has been begun, however this is open to improvements and continuations if nessecary.

Script:

-Girl walks up to door and enters main room, before sitting besides the boy-

Girl: I'm goong to get right to it.

Boy: What?

Girl: I'm Pregnant.

-Boy looks away before responding-

Boy:Who's is it?

Girl: Why else would i be here?

-Boy looks away again, this time sighing-

Boy: I thought you were on the pill.

Girl: I lied.

-Boy is fustrated and leaves the room-
- Girl sits looking disheartened-












Before filming, we were given some pointwers as to what to avoid and what we must include.
  1. Always use a tripod for more stable shots.
  2. Any cleaning of the lenses must be done with cleaning tissue.
  3. Ensure shots are recorded in widescreen 16:9
  4. Manual focus can be used but is not required for the preliminary.
  5. Don't point the camera at the sun.
  6. Take longer shots than needed.
  7. Pan wider than required.
  8. Walk into shot rather than starting once in shot.
  9. Capture ambient sound.
  10. Set the white
  11. Think of the rule of thirds.
