Today in lesson I had to draw a storyboard for a part of a film that was at least 8 shots long.
I had to label the camera angle and if there was a tilt was it left, right or up and was it quick or slow.

Workshop Film Puzzle (DAY 1)
Today I was set a task of editing and regrouping the opening sequence from a film. I had to sort out where shots were set to help along the way such as farm...or campsite. I know that I will have to regroup these over the next few lessons. But I am confident in the naming.

My contribution to pre-production
My contribution to pre-production was helping out with the brainstorming. I suggested some the main ideas of which we used one or two in the actual filming. One of the ideas I suggested was that we use the lift and the stairs in the filming/storyline. The lift was used in most of the scenes and I used the stairs in almost all of my parts.
I did my own part of health and safety as I filled out my own form on the stairwell. I had to check if a tripod was positioned somewhere would it be a minor or a major hazard and where these might occur such as going down or up stairs. My next contribution was the storyboard to which I drew own version of the script to which tried to use basic cartoons and accurate camera angles to show what would happen. I feel i had a lot of contribution towards the shooting schedule as i helped decide what day would suit which lesson and how long we needed for that day.
The last real contribution was Blogger. This helped because it kept me upto date and where I was in the project.
I feel it went well though and that all the writing I did payed off because I think after a while I got used to it and it was clear what I needed to do. One of the things I liked was the storyboard because I like drawing so combining the two really helped. One of my weaknesses was the script. I wasn't here the day it was written so I think that I might have had a go at adding my own bit.

Latest Lesson
In the lesson on the 4th of February my group continued editing. I participated in editing the film with Rob and Ian. I helped pick out film that we needed and film we didn't need.
I did a few bits of piecing the film together. The pieces I was editing were the scenes on the stairwell of which i was in most of the camera shots. We did five shots of me going through the door and down the stairs and had to decide what we needed and what could go in the bin.
