Story Board for short film

          

    This assignment was to create a story board for our 5 minute film project. When I created this story board I followed the certain format which my script followed per scene. Not only did I have the whole movie portrayed within my mind, but I knew what I wanted to draw per scene. For the drawing aspect I decided to take pictures of each scene in action with my father to help me as the character to get a good idea at what i'm looking at. For the writing aspect is where some of my script came out in, as I brought each scene to live stating what was going on in that one box which is one scene, not only did I number them I also stated whether there was dialogue or not. Within the text box to show which camera angles I wanted to use, I wrote each angle or camera shot per scene. During this process it took me around three to four days, as I needed to collect the pictures, then draw out each scene to the best of my ability as I do tend to call myself an artist although not so much anymore, then I needed to write the description of each scene and state what camera angle used. I only had two characters within the whole story so the ones I drew were only Jason as the second character is mainly showed up in two scenes. I also decided to state whether the dialogue used is going to be internal or external. However for the way in which this film is going to be created the P.O.V shot is used a lot within my film, as the main character is Jason as we experience and follow him around the area. I decided to keep the drawing specifically black and white, so I can change at any point the color scheme of any different scene I choose. Each single page of the story board templet had six boxes, so due to my movie only being 5 minutes I attempted to make each box a scene, thus I was left with 5 pages and 22 boxes filled. Due to me not being in a group this year, not only did I have to come up with the description but also draw, however due to this I got to use my own original ideas and not have to compare and share many different ones. Each scene I end up filming would end up being a few seconds so each scene has something special, within my film I will be using a bunch of different props. The props I'm using were shown and drawn within the story board as they were key to the story. Personally, I ended up enjoying the time that I spent working on the story board alone. I had to look back at many different camera angles, however I got to push my whole movie within 22 boxes. As each box gives a story and is drawn to max effort by myself, this story board portrays side by side description from the film therefore being the perfect drawing expression of my 5 minute film idea.

Genre choice of film

Image
          My main genre was horror which is what i wanted my film to be based behind. I always loved horror as a child due to the thrills and chills you get while watching those types of movies, which is something i thought i can capture in a short film. Horror has many aspects to it, including music, sound effects, lighting, and jump- scares. All these aspects are key, the sound effects are what made me truly interested in it behind the fact that many sounds are created by random objects by a mic, for say a loud bang/ thunder is created by a loud hit to a mental trashcan, or bones crunching can be a large amount raw pasta broken at the right time. It just makes it a lot more fun to create your own sounds with objects you could find at home. My film itself is a film based on a character who wakes up alone with a task to find an object before time runs out. The horror aspect is behind the evil spirit which torments the character while he searches for this missing item. Lighting is anoth

Props revise

           Today's blog will be about my steps to regather certain props for my film. Now this film is still in works from given spectator comments as well as my own personal opinion, so changing the props was necessary in the final film. The certain mistakes which played through the first take of the film came as not getting the correct clocks for the hallway scene, using the wrong version of blood, and getting a new mask/costume and painting. Now some of these weren't mistakes, however it was and will be improvements with the final week I have to work on this project. Getting straight into it I came across parts in my film where I knew it could have been better, both in filming and features. The hallway scene came to a surprise for me as I thought my work was perfect, but as I took a look back the clocks just weren't doing it. So as I mark down on my phone certain items to find while school ended I began the search for the perfect medium sized wall clocks. I checked multi

Editing process on Laptop Pt 1

Image
                The of editing of my end scenes as well as my pictures for my characters was being done on my phone. Now comes my first step/process of editing on my computer using editing apps. For these editing softwares, I decided to use two which were free and able to be accessed on my laptop. These two editing apps are called, "Imovie", and "FilmoraGo", however Imovie is the main one I used. I decided to go with these two since they were free and both were apple product editing softwares. In the future I may come across some type of software which works better which may be stated in my up coming blogs about my editing process. For now these work, they are simple and take clips and do as necessary by cutting them and inserting transitions from scene to scene. I kept Imovie, since my phone had the ability to access the app and transport over the edited clips so I went from there. My beginning process was trying to start on the editing of the first scenes which we
