Minute Meeting’s 

Minute Meeting 5 — Wed/3/Dec/14

What have you done?:

Today we began the process of creating our storyboard’s for our thrillers. Perry was not here today so we decided to split our story board into three parts with 5 different frames per person to do. Indie was going to take care of the first 5 frames of the mood board which was the first half of the psychiatric ward part of the sequence and Zell would do the next 5 frames in the scene, the second half of the part of the sequence which takes place in the psych ward. Finally I (Lucas) would do the last 5 shots of the opening sequence which takes place in the main characters head. We only did the planning of how we were going to do the storyboards and did not actually get to drawing the storyboards them selves.

Targets?:

The target which our group has is to complete our storyboards and then meet up and look it over to make sure that it well portrays our views and how we want the final product to look, and then finally get them uploaded to our blogs.

Good vs Bad:

Good: We organised ourselves well and attributed the amount of work equally.

Bad: Perry was not there so it resulted in more work having to be done per person which may result in the whole process of creating the storyboards to take longer.

Mood Board – Minuit Meeting 4

What have you done? (be detailed to your group)

Today we began the process of creating a mood board. Indie and Zell worked on creating a mood board for the location and the characterization and Lucas and Perry began creating a mood board of images which relate to the activity going on inside the patients head.  

Targets? Individual/group

By creating a mood board we wanted to have a focus point for all of our inspirational ideas. We all realised that we envisioned the opening sequence slightly differently so we thought that it might  benefit the group to combine all of our ideas so that we could share the same vision.

Good vs Bad (what went well/badly and why?)

We managed to combine our ideas so that we could all share the same vision. We had so many visual ideas that it was easy to organize our images.

It was difficult to find specific images to represent what we wanted for example we found it difficult to find an image of the hospital bed which we wanted to use.

MINUTE MEETING 3

What have you done?

Today we did a test shoot for our thriller. This helped us see what shots would and would not work and even though we weren't using proper technical equipment we could see how we would film it using the location sheet and story board we planned. We filmed in the corridor and the upstairs hurtwood common room because we felt that this reflected the right conditions for when we actually film. e.g.  common room (house, homely)

Targets? Individual/ group

Our targets are to stick to the story board sheet more so we know exactly what we are doing and we can plan everything in advance.

Individual targets: For us all to keep switching roles and everything there is to be done eg for us all to film and for us all to plan not just stick to specific roles.

Good Vs Bad (What went well/ badly and why?)

What went well was using what we had for example making use of the torches we had on our phone and using the locations to the full extent so it looked realistic e.g. filming in common upstairs hurtwood had an attic feel.

What went badly was not sticking to our time plan and always referring back to our location sheet/ story board.

Minute Meeting  2

In our group we planned which locations we would be filming the concept idea for our thriller in within school grounds.

We aimed to find out how which shots we would be filming, where and to improve and expand on the concept of our opening sequence idea. I was trying to think about what shots could increase the tension in our thriller.

Perhaps because of the concept of our idea it was hard for us to add shots to increase tension without making our clip like a horror, but we found there are a few ideal locations in the school to get the footage we need, and we planned more on which shots we would do and in what sequence, as well as some of the details of the opening sequence (ie smashed photos on walls). 

Perry, Zel, Lucas & Indie
