The Suspect Script:
So we needed a script for our suspect, we writ it up on word and here it is and we gave this to the detective and the suspect so they both new what they had to say.
Storyboard Information
Planning is very key to a high quality production. A script is always created for a film but a script is not always enough. For a video project storyboards are used to sell your idea. All you need to make a storyboard a few sheets of paper, a pencil a ruler or a computer where you can print out a layout for your story to go on, then you just begin making sure you include some of the basic dialogue and the camera angles, shots and movements. By using a storyboard it will help you plan your animation shot by shot and you can change your storyboard or make a new one if you change your mind about what you have came up with.
The Basic language in storyboarding:
The Basic language in storyboarding:
- Extreme Close up
- Close up
- Medium shot
- establishing shot
- Low Angle
- High Angle
- Pan
- Tracking
- Crane
- Tilt
- Zoom
- Fade
- Dissolve
Heres a storyboard which i found on the internet and it shows what I've been explaining by saying what camera shot, angle and movement it is and saying what happens in the scene but others sometimes say some of the dialogue.
Heres another storyboard which I found on the internet and i thought this was a good example of one. This one also shows the sound which is going to be in that shot and also the camera shot, angle and movement and also the action
Here are just a few more storyboards which i found on the internet of storyboards which have been made into films:
Filming locations
We needed a location where it looked like a detectives room for interrogating people and we found the perfect location which was the languages office:
Our Storyboard- Draft 1
This was our first storyboard which we came up with which katie drew and wrote what camera shots, angles and movements accompany that part of the film. We also wrote what they would say in speech bubbles. We later created another storyboard which we added more to it and made the images better and the precise camera shots, angles and movements needed for each part.

Our idea for the Brief and the 180 degree line
Me and my group have decided to create a crime, detective scene for the brief and we will chose a range of different camera shots, angles and movements to fit each part of the scene to create a very well done piece. We have chosen to create a piece about an detective questioning a young girl about a crime that had been committed recently. We are going to use a lot of camera shots, angles and movements when the detective is walking down the stairs past the window and into the room where the girl will be sat. We thought this would be a good idea because it would make the scene very serious and dramatic.
We have recently looked at a short clip from the ring and watched carefully how they created the tension, seriousness and also at parts funniness. There was one this that we looked at very carefully from this clip is the 180 degree line where if you cross over the 180 degree line it will make you confused and make everything look back to front. In the clip they have the cameras all on the front of the bed and every camera is either on the line or in front of it and it doesn't cross it.

Preliminary Task
For planning my preliminary task me and my group first had to plan and draw out a storyboard of our idea adding in the camera angle/shot/movement by the side and also if we wanted to add in speech so our group and others would get the basic idea of what the actors/actresses are going to say. I was the one in charge of drawing the storyboard as I'm very creative and was able to show what the actors/actresses were going to do without having to draw stick people which makes it harder to understand
After we had completed our storyboard we started writting the script for each actor which wasnt to hard because the ideas just popped into our heads and we just wrote them down. Katie was the main writter for the script but we just gave her some ideas. The script isnt very long because our preliminary task only has to be short, so we didnt need a long script.
After this we had to find the actors/actresses, location and when we were going to film. Set up the camera, get all the correct equipment such as the boom and tripod and also the video camera obviously. The place where we are going to film is in the lower school corridor of the school and also in the languages office.

Demo and Preliminary Task
Me and my group have been working on a filming project. So far we have each been using a school video camera to film 5 seconds of each media shot such as close up, medium, long shot etc. Also filming the camera movements such as tracking and also the camera angles such as low and high. We then put the film on to Premier Pro edited how long each clip was and then inserted the name of the camera shot/angle/moevment at the top of each clip. We are now working on our preliminary task where we have to film a person walking into room and sitting down, but we can choose what we want to do for it. Our idea is too have two men, a detective and a policemen walking into an interegation room sitting down infront of a young girl and then talking to her to ask her where she was on the scene of the crime. It seems very simple at the moment, but when we film it using the angles/shots and movements that we will use will make it look much more interesting and we have already written a script for our actors to say so we just need to find out when me and my group are going to film and where we are going to film it, but our idea so far is to film in school using one of the lower school coridors and one of the rooms which lie there. We had this idea because its like the kind of place that would be in a police station, but were not quite sure what decade to base it in yet!
