Planning- The final task

As a group we have discussed different ideas of how to plan our movie opening and what kind of things we will need to do so.These are the following:

  • pictures taken of the place the movie will be filmed at
  • information of the actors that will be in the movie and their permission ( preparing the forms for them to sign)
  • watch different trailers, movie openings from the genre that we have chosen to do. (make notes to share with the group) 
  • think about the props that will be needed
  • safety equipment (tripods, waterproof jackets, umbrella)

Prelim Task



This is a short video showing what me and my group produced as a preliminary exercise. The purpose of this video was to gain an understanding and practice before we go of to do our own movie. Part of the exercise was to shot a scene and edit it afterwards which we have done as a group also. We have used one camera and variority of shot angles. The whole exercise took us around 2 lessons to do but we have gained a better understanding and practiced at the same time.
