We also decided to try and keep the identity of the protagonist (Duncan Barnes) hidden to add to the suspense and thrill of the film, we have done this by using a variety of OTS shots along with MCU and CU. By the end of our double lesson on Monday morning we had planned the first 1 minute and 20 seconds of our thriller opening.
Today, we completed our storyboard and if all goes to plan our final piece stands at 126 seconds. We want to use match on action and a focus pull in our piece to make the shots more interesting to entice the audience.
We have also discussed props during our planning process and have also made one of them already - the evidence board. This will be placed above the desk of the protagonist but wont be revealed until the end of the opening when the audience realise that it is actually Duncan who is the 'bad guy'.
I've seen your storyboard, and this is completed thoroughly. However, you do need to get this up here as an animatic within a day or two. There are also other parts of the planning deadline missing too. I allowed you to take a camera as the storyboard was worked through, but you must do the rest before progressing any further.
ReplyDeleteAbbie - you need to add your name to the blog heading in settings, get all blog signing in details, and copy and paste any planning and research you posted to the previous blog. Do this straight away or the order of this blog will be wrong.
