In tutorial 4 & 5 we planned and shot a short film and then edited it. This blog will be looking at the website 'youtube' and how planning helped the creation of our short film
Youtube is a website on which users can upload and share videos. This service allows people to share things they have captured on video. This allows people to share with others all over the world things like a performance of them doing something they are interested in (such as playing sport, singing a song or playing a musical instrument), an opinion they have or a personal message they want someone in particular to look at (by recording them talking), a captured moment such as on an adventure and much more. The videos can not only serve as communicating and entertaining purposes, but also educational purposes as videos are posted to educate viewer on the particular topic e.g. how to tie a tie. The videos can then be commented on by all users which allows people to communicate their ideas and thoughts about the videos and discussions can be created.
In class we made a short film in groups. Before the short film we wrote up a story board and script for the short film.
Having a story board meant that the whole group was clear on what we were to encompass in our short film. Before writing the story board we wrote down what we wanted to have in the film and then wrote the story board accordingly. Having a story board meant we could be sure that the film was going to encompass all that we wanted to have in the short film. Planning shot angles and zooms and the locations of the shots meant that once we came to shooting the short film the group was very clear on what to do to film it.
Scripting meant that the characters in the film knew what they were meant to say. Planning what they were going to say rather than making it up on the spot meant that we could be sure that the themes and story line we were intending on having was implemented in the film and also made sure that the characters interactions made sense and had good flow.
