WEEK 2

Week commencing 11th November 2024

Present & Feedback

We should present our ideas to Paul and Viv for feedback.

Shot List

From the script, imagine each shot we could film. This should be written and could include a storyboard.

See: Shot List 

Equipment List

Create a list of all the equpment we need to book out from Media Loans. Keep track of what is required, what has been ordered and whether it has been approved or not. This should include the camera (z150), tripod (Manfrotto), lighting and sliders.

See: Equipment List 

Props

Source the props required that we identified whilst writing script. We could potentially borrow some from uni, go to charity shops or buy online. Most likely will include recipe books and the ingredients.

Sound List

Similarly to the shot-list, we need to plan the sounds we want to record. This would be foley, not dialogue; mostly steps, swooshes, slides, tearing and placing etc.

Lighting

Using our location plans and the script, identify the pyshical and practical lights we need to incorporate to fit the emotional theme and context we want to portray.

Shoot

With our plan of action in place, we use the outputs of the previous tasks to film the scene.
