Continuity Task - Planning

For this task we will be creating a short 60-80 second simple clip. This will give us a chance to learn how to use a camera and learn to edit, this will help us overall as media students as we will learn a lot more to eventually help us with out coursework thriller opening. We are in the same groups that we will be in for our coursework. Together we have researched a lot and now it is time to make a clip. It also gives us a chance to realise how difficult it can be to do simple things such as setting up a camera and a tripod, or even just uploading a clip onto the mac. Overall very excited to start the task. We have been given a task sheet with advice and rules on to help us with our work.



As you can see above, there is a list of rules and advice for us to follow and look at to help us with our clip. This will help us to create a shot list and a storyboard to begin filing and editing. One rule that I found confusing as I hadn't heard of it before was the 180 degree rule. I found a diagram so that I could try and help me understand it more and get to grips with how to apply it to the filming.




Below you will find out first attempt at a shot list. We have tried to use a range of shot to fit the brief of the task.

We ended up changing our plan and changing our shot list, we did not have the two girls walking past the classroom laughing and we did not see the teacher leave the room from  the parents/students point of view. Although we kept the main focus of the shoot which was a parents evening and we had the parent and student outside of the classroom. A new shot list will be uploaded.
