Week 9-Farzin

Week 9: Storyboard, Script and Recce

Week 9 was definitely one of the easiest and hardest weeks throughout our process of this coursework. When we were handed the new tasks during this week, all the tasks included group work. Since we got three tasks, we all came together as a group and divided it between all of us. For example when it came to deciding who would make the storyboard, before attempting the task we found out who in the group was best at drawing. Therefore Anbish and Evelina had made the storyboard. On the other hand, Henali and I are best at written work therefore we worked together to finish the Script. Even though Anbish and Evelina made the storyboard, we still worked together to decide how each scene would look in the actual video and what we would to happen in the opening sequence, this did make it easier for Evelina and Anbish to make their storyboard. When it came to make the Script, Henali and I did some research in our own time to find out how a film script may look. After doing research well enough to help us write the script, Henali and I both divided the script between us  into two parts and finished it off. For example I wrote the script for two of the scenes and Henali finished off the final part of the script which was the ending. Because both of these tasks were difficult to do, it was rather easier for all of us in the group since we divided all the work between us which also made it less stressful. After finishing the script, we all decided to make some changes to the opening sequence after getting feedback from the class. The others in our class had advised us to add a voice over to the film opening sequence because they thought without it, it just looked like a music video. Therefore, I decided to write a new script and decided to include dialogue which would relate to the main character and what he is going through, throughout the story.

When it came to doing the Recce, all four of us had taken the responsibility to finish this task off. In order to attempt this task, we all travelled to all the locations which we were going to use in our opening sequence. We took a picture of every location we were going to use or had a thought about using. After making this journey, we decided to finish off the task by presenting the pictures in a prezi. In each slide of the prezi, we included each image of each location and added a description about why or why not we wanted to some of the locations in our opening sequence.
