Storyboard

This lesson we first explained what we had done last week to a member of our group who was absent from the previous lesson and then together we sorted out the plan for our opening. We discussed shots we had in mind, whilst me and Yarohey drew out the storyboards, Fatma wrote down the effects, transitions and audio for each frame, both diegetic and non-diegetic and Carel wrote up the narrative. We decided that we were either going to film Fatma or Carel and we talked about what props we need to bring in.

As one of our frames is a long shot showing a full image of a person hanging on a branch, we needed a dummy, I knew that the Art department had many body parts of mannequins that we could put together to create a whole person, so me and Fatma went up to ask to borrow one but the teacher said the only times we could borrow it was during a specific time that didn't fit into our schedule. We went back to our class and our teacher searched the cost of a mannequin while we brainstormed other ways we could get one or make one. We could go shops and asked if they had any spare ones that they were going to throw out or we could stuff clothing with the inside of cushions and attach a balloon on as a head and put a wig on top of that so it looks like a person from far away.

At the end of the lesson we still had not found a solution and next time we were supposed to be filming so we need to come up with a second option soon.
