Film Outline

Here is our first film outline, this was a big step as doing this activity really made our group focus on creating a final decision on everything that was going to happen within our film, when it was going to happen and during what time frame. This took a lot of planning as everything we base our film on will be rooted to these outlines and therefore we feel this activity has really taken us closer to the production of our film as in doing this we received a final outcome on what our film would be like.

Recee Location Sheet

After conducting our recee, we feel the main problem with our location is that the ground may be uneven therefore making filming a steady shot a difficult process. This is the main issue we must work on as a group whether this mean we must use extra equipment to keep the camera steady or whether we must spend a lot of time looking for more suitable areas of woodland within that area which will be more appropriate for our filming.

MOVING PICTURES (STORYBOARDING) THE SIXTH SENSE

1. WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF STORY BOARDING?
The purpose of story boarding is to set a planned sequence of shots on what is going to happen within a film, in what order and on what time. It allows the filming crew to be prepared when it comes to filming and sets a basis on how to start the filming itself. Story boarding provides a clear set of shots and it will be created from looking at the films script.

2. HOW CAN YOU SHOW LIGHTING? CAMERA MOVEMENT? ANGLES?
These elements can be shown by making improvements on the storyboard, the story board artist can draw rough thumbnails of different angles and forms or lighting etc and the image that they find most appropriate to what they are trying to portray will be the one chosen. Angles can be shown simply by the angle in which it is drawn, lighting by the shading used within the image and camera movement by the directions shown within the image. These aspects are all easy to create within a story board however the most difficult part is to draw up many sketches of different varieties and being able to pick the most appropriate one.

Things For Shooting

Hospital Gown - Make sure the costume is realistic
Make -Up - How are we going to use makeup to reflect the character and create fear
Wooden Cross - Prop
Old Books - Prop
Knife? - Where is the knife from? Should we even use a knife?
House? - What relation is the house to the character? 

Character

Name: Samantha Whawell

Due to Samantha being the actress in our previous preliminary exercise, we feel that she has the capability of fulfilling the role of the character within our film.

Location Shots Recee

Here we have various shots of the woodland in which we aim to have our film take place, the setting is in the evening as this is the right timing and lighting that we feel is appropriate for our film and genre. The natural lighting makes the images appear very creepy and eerie and hopefully this feeling will be represented within our film aswell. As the area is a public place this means we wont require any permission to film there and that it is an easily accessible area.
