Preliminary Task: Creating A Story Board From Initial Ideas

We decided as a group that our task would involve two 6th formers talking about their coursework. The lead opening shot will be an establishing shot to show the viewers where the scene is set. We had a task to do this in 12 shots and we managed to do this is 11 shots while using a range of different camera shots, movements and angles.


In the lesson I learnt how to create a storyboard with only used 12 camera shots to plan a short clip, I learnt about  where a character has room in the shot to look into. I learnt how to use arrange of camera shots, movements and angles.
