My Planning and Storyboards

My research helped my design my storyboards to fit a narrative and frame shot sizes to work effectiviley for a nice cut between each shot. I looked at narrative because I though that it would be good to have some sort of narrative structiure to it. I though about the beginning shot first and how it could nicely lead into the middle section. The middle section is the most important part which leads to the end part of narrative where the girl wakes up in the car to show that what the audience will see is the girls dream that she dreamt.


I have put my planning and storyboard drawings on here to show my planning stage ready for filming in the next few days. I need to wait for a dry day, because the weather plays apart in the story.

Actors:

My main actress is reliable and can play the part to show the emotion and feelings that I want my film to have as the main character.

It was important to find an actress who can play the character I want in the film because that is what will make the story and realism of the story.

Making Music:

There will be a repetitive music track underneath the narrator speaking. The music will be produced by myself using real instruments and recording them. These will be later edited and tied in with the video.

Sound list:

The film will be shot in one location. The location sound (environment) will be recoded to use as the buzz tracks.

Sound Effects

Some sound effects of animal, wind and a car screeching will be used.

The sound of the different textured floor throughout the forest e.g. leaves and rocks will be recorded separately as these sounds will be used throughout different shots, also important to feeling of the story narrative.

The dialogue of the characters talking will be recorded at the same time as the video take. The volume of the narrator talking throughout the film will be the main track of volume with layered music and noise effects underneath.
