Planning and filming.



The start of this lesson was spend story boarding the task. Catherine and I worked on the technicalities like a reasonable plotline and camera work, while Ash came up with general ideas for props and costume and generally put his ideas in. Trisha put a few ideas in at odd times.
Catherine drew and wrote the storyboard out neatly, however since none of us were very good at art, stick men were used to get the camera angles and storyline drawn.
The story is about a pizza delivery guy, who goes round to a woman's house to deliver a pizza, with murderous results. We wanted our piece to be original and creative.
We came to film, we needed a hat and a pizza box for props for Ashley. After requiring them we started filming. We had to wait a while as another group was using the room that we needed.
We began using a low angle shot of Ashley's feet to the door and carried on from there. We found our main problem was the light in the corridor and room. We got a small industrial light, there was a small problem with lack of sockets. When that little problem was sorted, we found the light was too bright and revealed every shadow possible. After a few goes at moving different pieces of equipment, we found out how to position everything right and began filming.
Next lesson - Carry on filming
