This was unfortunately the start of a 3 week spanning illness and hence I was not able to attend this class.

 

This week’s workshop put focus on framing and pre-production. After reading the short excerpt from Bobker’s Elements of Film (1974) which outlined the principles of film composition I decided to try my hand at some of my own storyboard/single shot ideas for a film based on ‘Misunderstanding’. I found this concept quite difficult, especially being confined to my room due to my sickly way but effectively planned a single shot sequence.

My idea for my short single shot film was to film a panoramic shot of my room outlining the mess and various medicines lying around. At the end of the shot I planned on zooming in on my computer showing the ‘webmd’ page that was open essentially illustrating misunderstanding.

I was slightly confused as to what the rules are for using storyboards, does each box represent a frame or shot?

Answers to come.
