Week 9: Storyboard, Script, Recce Production Log By Henali


Evelina week 9 planing

Week 9
This week we had to start our planning for our film opening, so we had to create a storyboard to see how everything is going to look but in a drawing version then normal video. The storyboard was drawn by Anbish and myself, and put together into a video by Anbish; this was teamwork as we both worked together. The script, was a little confusing as I came up with the story but I did not write the script as I was doing the storyboard, so Farzin and Henali shared the script writing to write the best script  for our film opening. And finally the Reece, this was done by all 4 members of the group as we went out to the different locations in our spear time and went out to take  pictures of locations that we wanted to use but confident due to different issues. For example; we wanted to use a skate-park in central, which was called 'south bank', unfortunately we couldn't us that skate park due to the roof on top of the skate-park, the roof was blocking of the sun light and it would be dangerous to take the lighting there as it really busy in the central and there are a lot of people skating and watching that might damage the lights and camera. The planing was done as a team and everyone worked really well together, we have all created a strong bond now. The filming looks like it going to be good due to our groups relationship.

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.  



Week 9 - Anbish

Storyboard, Script and Recce.

During week 9,  we had to do a storyboard, a script and a recce. For this we had to divide the work so everyone has something to do. For example, Evelina and me decided to do the story board, Henali and Farzin wrote a script because they were better at writing. Even though we had different tasks to do,  we all worked together to make decisions on what type of shots to use for our actual video.


My job for this task was to draw the scenes, make a storyboard and turn it into anomatic. The reason behind this was because we wanted to add music so that it creates mood and atmosphere. Furthermore, we wanted to see rough time so that opening sequences under 3 minute time mark. Also, the other reason is because we wanted to present our work in a creative way.
