Major Project: Scene Breakdown

In preparation for the shoot, I created a scene breakdown that I could refer to. SCENE BREAKDOWN I have chosen to create this scene breakdown so I have all of the information I need to know for each scene on me at all times during the shoot. Each scene is broken down into: - Scene action/description - Character details/emotion - Costume - Set dressing - Camera set up/sound set up - Number of...

Major Project: Blocking Draft 2

During our test shoot, some issues with the blocking were highlighted, so I created a new draft of the blocking sheets. BLOCKING DRAFT 2 These are the changes made: - On each sheet I have labelled the camera positions with the number that corresponds with the shots from that position in the shot list. This will make it easier to understand the camera positioning within the scene for each shot...

Major Project: Closing Credits Idea

The credits sequence of any film is very important, and so a lot of time and thought should be put into them. CLOSING CREDITS IDEA For this film I didn't want our credits to just be a generic white text on a black screen job. I wanted the credits to represent the style and tone of the rest of the film. I wanted them to be visually interesting so people would actually watch them. So I went onto...

Major Project: Shooting Script Draft 4, Shot List Draft 3, & Blocking Draft 1

Now our final script is complete, I have updated my shooting script & shot list, and created blocking sheets for each scene. SHOOTING SCRIPT DRAFT 4 This will most likely be the final shooting script as the actual script won't change too much from this point. All of the shots are pretty much the same as the last draft, however they have moved around a bit to fit in with the new pacing of each...
