This was our story board for our 30 second narrative sequence trailer called ‘ Another day at the office’. As you can see we used camera angles and displayed how we would shoot these shots illistrated by our drawings of our actor. We also used text and short sentences to make it more clear what we were planning to do in our shoot time. By planning out what we can do it mant when it came to the shoot we could efficiently start shooting almost instantly once we had to the camera set up and not waste anytime it was clear what was happening.
Upon reflection what I would do differently next time is make sure my camera is sterdy on the tripod as on some of our shots the camera angle comes across shakey and unproffesional. By doing this we woud’ve gained a higher mark and added a more realistic feel to our narrative sequence. Also another reflection would be that one of our shots was especially out of focus this was the shot with the rucksack and the door handle, our shots didn’t lineup particuarly well which made the whole clip seem staged and unprofessional.
To focus forward for next time I will be sure to take the following bullet points into account:
- Plan the shoot well so you aren’t wasting time when it comes to the shoot
- Use a tripod at all times to prevent blurry and unprofessional shots
- Shoot every clip twice so if we dont like one or one becomes blurry we have another clip to use to make the scene look more realistic
