Location planning

In todays lesson myself and Aimee went out of class to collect photos of our location why Ellie whilst finishing off our story boards that we had nearly finished the previous lesson. I took them on my mobile phone, which i am going to upload. Due to our location not being free when we needed to film our prelim task, we had to find a different location and fast. This meant that we did not have time to take the photos of the location of i have copied the images from our video footage as we did not have the pictures to use. You can still see where our location was by looking at these images.

Planning the Story Board

In todays lesson we are planning our story board by making notes on the camera shots we are going to be using, location of the shot and the sound. Once we have collected our ideas and certain we are happy with it, we will sketch it out onto the story board sheet that we have been provided with.
