Storyboard

 During the first nine shots.

I plan on introducing the occupation of the character and parts of the problem. It will depict the writer first beginning to work, which will introduce his occupation to the audience. This will also set the setting and lighting of the title.  Next, It will show that the writer is dedicated and diligent. Using an extreme close-up shot on the pupils moving across a screen and a hand writing across a page will portray the effort from the character. After this, the next shots will show the character emotions, such as confusion and frustration as time passes. Here I will use a fade to represent the time.

Shots 10-15

Out of frustration, the writer will be moving around the house. Close ups can show emotion and it his actions will relate to the reader. There will also be a long shot of him talking a short walk outside during the nighttime. This will include the diegetic and ambient sounds of nature that will serve as "inspiration."

Shots 16-21

After the writer returns indoors, we will see him start brainstorming again. This time, it will be at a new table. More writing, typing and planning will ensue, and we can see with close ups that he is making good progress. I plan to use an extreme close up shot on the writing and typing. 

Shots 22-30

In the middle of his train of thought, a disturbance from behind will alert the writer. A close up shot will see him turn around in interest, and it will be followed by a reverse shot of a glow from a drawer. There will be a tilt and pan to the light. Another extreme close up reverse shot of the same things will follow and we will see the writer move towards it before a complete darkness engulfs everything. A point of view shot will show him waking up, followed by an establishing shot of his surroundings.

Production and Transportation

 Although we are eager to begin working, our group has been very slow to progress. Each of us has been very busy with school and tests, leaving less time that we can all congregate to consistently film. We also have additional extracurriculars that limit the opportunities we have from meeting up together. Now this would be nearly impossible if we had to rely on our parents to drive us from place to place. It would also inconvenience everyone if we try and make a small adjustment to our schedules. Luckily, Maximus is eligible to drive and was planned drive us to our filming locations. These would include his and Jibril's houses. After this planning earlier in the year, we had expected our meeting dates to be flexible with this in mind. Unfortunately, the unexpected has constantly struck. For example, the car had to be repaired in the shop and was unavailable for about a week. Again, this left us with less available time for production of our film. This really hurt our motivation to ...

Planning: Storyboard

Scenes 1-6 In the beginning of the film, the first shot will establish the dark setting of the scene. It will be an establishing shot that tilts on a street to show the moonlight night and a small suburban neighborhood. The next three scenes introduce the interior of the house and the victims of the killer's first crimes. Scenes 7-12 The main protagonist will come home, sensing that something is not right, and wander a quiet home. He will soon make the discovery that his family was murdered and will fill with vengeance. Scenes 13-18 The father of the family will use the police to ask for help finding the, but with no luck. After some time passes, we can still see the emotional trauma the loss has caused. We feel that this helps develop the character. Scenes 19-24 The father, now motivated to avenge his family, will recruit his friends for help and take matters in their own hands. They will find evidence that will begin a chase for the killer. Scenes 25-30 The next scenes show the d...

Recurring Issues

Today we faced challenges during our shoot. One of the biggest challenges was getting the right shot under the right conditions.   There were times when we had to wait for the perfect lighting or weather conditions, which could take hours. Even when we had the right conditions, it could take a long time to get the perfect shot. One example of this was when we were filming a particular scene outside in the park. We had to wait for the sun to set just enough to create the desired effect, and then we had to make sure the camera was in the right position to capture the shot. It took about an hour to get just one shot under those conditions, but we knew it was worth the effort to create the desired effect. We also had to contend with other factors like noise and distractions from passersby, which could ruin a shot if not handled properly. We had to be patient and persistent, making sure we got the shot we needed before moving on to the next scene. It was a lesson in perseverance and ded...
