Storyboard

Our next step towards the final production was doing a photoshoot for the storyboard in the locations that Josh had planned. When it came to the photoshoot, I took the photos and positioned the characters. Heather then edited them on photoshop making them black and white, Josh then took them and made a slideshare that is attached below, it then explains exactly what is happening in each photo.

The lighting was not an issue as it was shot during the daytime, to get a more conventional Noir atmosphere, we will need to film during the night; we have learnt that this may cause issues as the footage is not going the be as clear to see. To prevent this from happening, a flashlight will be used when necessary.
Camera angles are greatly important to portray the mood and atmosphere for the audience. We have learnt that in order to create the correct mood in each shot, the camera angles must be perfect (for example a high angle to make the character weak-demonstrated in the first slide). The composition of each shot is equally as important-in the background of some shots, civilians' houses are visible which will not be acceptable for the opening of our film.
For audience understanding of the film, accurate props will be needed: clothing, gun (rather than hand) and, to meet the codes and conventions of a Film Noir, cigarettes will be needed and used.
From this, I have learnt that to fully portray the aspects within our film, we each need to prepare fully within the research and planning-we will be able to work effectively without a great deal of challenges.

  1. Again clear collaborative work
    Good evidence of how well you work together
    add a summary reflective comment where you consider what you have learned about lighting, camera angles organisation, codes and conventions that lead to making meaning clear for an audience
