what we learnt from amar

He showed us a powerpoint on how to prepare for a film shoot. This included lots of different elemnts firstly.
Script writing: this will show us what the charcters are doing during the shoot including there movement,  reactions and emotions. This helps give us a idea of how the characters should react to make it more realisic for the veiwer. It also helps us determin the location for each scene showing whether we are inside or outside and the time of day it is. We needed to take images to show the location where the film is based aswell as act out the script in the location. Since we are filming in jasmines garage there is no members of the public that will interfere with filming. It also means we dont need to source local information for toilets or food allowing our filming time to be shorter.

     We were also advised to create a digital storyboard including the location. This allowed us to experiment with different angles and shot types, allowing us to see how realistic it seemed. This showed us how well different shots flowed and whether they would link together to make good continuity.

    shot list is another thing we were asked to create, this will help us film quickly because we know the shots that are needed and the order to take them in. it also shows us what props are needed for that perticular scene as well as the actions of the character.

    another element we were advised to include is the shooting schedule, this is a scheudle with dates and times that we are going to do the actual filming of the film. This also indludes times of transportation for everyone involved as most people are comuting a long way to get to the filmming site. this also helps us get permision for the location we have chosen but this isnt relevent for us as we do not need permsion as it is one of the group members house. as well as what shots we are doing at what time.

lastly testing shooting this has not been relevent for us as we unable to get to the location in enough time during lessons. how ever it would include running through the script in the right location to see how it fits together as well as what equipment we would use during filming. as would help us know what to do wiht props and costumes during filmming and help show us how it could be improved.

 using elements we are more prepared for a final shooting and helps the whole process flow with less wasted time during our tight shooting opitinity. thsi should also help us reduce the amount of editing needed after the film is shot this also means we can concentrate on other parts of the production for example creatign the sound track and credits
