Pre Production completed!

We finished our pre preduction last week. After making several changes to the script and storyboards we have hopefully established a watertight piece of preperation for our intro. The film, Biotoxic, will be beggining filming over the christmas period.

Pre-production

I have just started our second peice of coursework. I am working with another up and coming director, Josh De Almeida, and we have come up with several good ideas between us. We settled on a Zombie movie, Biotoxic. we have written a hundred word synopses of the film and even made a storyboard and script for the first 2 minutes or so of the film.

We havent found the actors yet as we are looking to find the right people. The fact their is minimal diolaouge means acting is very important in convaying the emotions of the characters and it takes someone with great skill to put that across.

We hope to start filming within a week.

1st bit of real work

We just completed our first real bit of work in Media.
Because I joined the class late I missed out on all the hard stuff and only had to do the fun stuff. It was great.

The group I joined first had to make a story board for a basic scene, someone walking down a corridor, entering a room and having a conversation. pretty simple stuff.

I joined the group when we moved onto the actual filming. We used several of the angles decided in the story board, but added a few last minute. We completed the filming in under an hour. Pretty good for our first time.

Next came editing. This was the fun bit.It took a while to get used to the program but when we did, it was fun. after several hours of mucking around we finally came out with a 40 second long video. I think its pretty good.
