Research and Planning

Before going out to film, we needed to create a shot list, story board and script, in order to stay on task.

When planning the horror opening, all of the above as essential in order to stay on task and so we can get things done.

The shot list is a record of what we want to catch on camera e.g. everything that's in the frame and the camera angles. The shot list is effective as it helps us figure out what shots need to be taken and what the characters will be doing in each shot. Our shot list includes locations, camera instructions, that action that is taking place, what actors are in the shots and what equipment will be need in the frame. This potentially helped when filming as I could get on filming immediately, without having to think about what I wanted to include in each shot.

The storyboard was created as a visual aid. A storyboard is a sequence of drawings that include some dialogue and directions; our storyboard was also a plan to ensure we could get the footage done as quickly as possible so we could start putting it together.

The script was created so the conversation didn’t go off topic. It includes directions and locations to set the scene. Having a planned script helped a lot as it got us to get the filming done quicker and it prepared us for making the actual footage.
