Preliminary Exercise: Storyboarding: Shot Sizes

 Welcome everyone, 

   Now that I have learned about shot sizes, I would be applying my understanding of this to my film. For example, now that I know that the establishing shot is used to establish the setting, I used this shot to establish the setting of a high school. A storyboard can also be interpreted as a shot list. A shot list is the director's plan for every shot in a scene. This serves as a blueprint for what you need to film in order to have an effective film. 

   For my shot sizes I included as much detail as possible to make it follow in a chronological order. I included coloring and outlined it in pen to make it stand out more. I included an action line for each shot. The action line is supposed to explain what is happening in the shot. The shot sizes that I used were the same ones I used in my notes, which are establishing shot, master shot, wide shot, full shot, medium full shot, medium shot, medium close up, close up, and extreme close up. We made the movie about a high schooler staying after school with his friends. The high schooler heard a sound making him leave the room, also leaving behind his safety. 

   For this assignment I worked on it with one other person. We decided to split up the project by one of us doing the drawings and the other coming up with the action lines. We both felt that it would be best for me to the drawings in this assignment. We both collaborated together to come up with ideas on our movie and in the end decided to pick horror. We both worked very well together to come up with ideas for our movie. The next blog will be a continuation of our movie, but instead of shot sizes we would using camera angles.
