AIM: TO HAVE A ROUGH CUT OF YOUR TRAILER BY XMAS
How to achieve this:
The following should have been completed by the end of WEEK 9:
- sorted out any inconsistencies, bits missing etc.. on your blog to date
- completed all the Locations research - including photos and analysis
- completed all the character research (similar intertextual characters) and costumes/ props
- completed a strong, detailed shot list - include the script, the length of each shot and the spaces for graphics - also I would start to include ideas for transitions between shots or in shots
- completed a storyboard (keep very clear and in ink - for later animatics)
- completed a full and detailed recee with voice-over - close attention to sound and lighting
SECOND HALF OF ADVENT TERM:
Complete planning and embark on filming of trailer and edit a rough cut
- animate the storyboard
- Sound research
- Graphics research - both for the trailer and for idents
- studio research / distribution company
- Transitions/ Filters/ Effects research
FILM THE TRAILER - book out equipment well in advance using Alyson's booking sheets
Allow more than one day for filming - split up the scenes so as not to get too tired
Remember to take extra shots, cut-aways, a range of angles, establishing shots
Remember to synch the sound and video and to test!
I have noted all this so that some of you can move forward in certain areas when you are ready. We will be discussing these aspects in further detail in class.
Important: Keep all your progress documented regularly on your blog!
