DIGITAL STORYTELLING
I watched a informative video where Frank Ash, the creative consultant from the BBC talked about digital storytelling - how to connect with an audience emotionally through storytelling. This can be completed by creating a storyline that they can relate to as well as maximising the sense of anticipation and suspense throughout the film. The four main points from this informative course are: Story, It, Question and Audience. |
RESEARCH: SCOOP IT!
I researched different genres of trailers and choose six film trailers to put into the software app called scoop it, so all of my research/information is in one place and I can come back to it when I need to.

Once we arranged the props in the place we wanted. We then did a practice shoot, where Charlotte started to move the iPad/camera along the props/set we helped with camera placement. Once we knew where the camera was going, we started to film and Charlotte pressed record (with a steady hand gliding across the set). Towards the end of the sequence Jess placed the (blood) money on the side and the (blood) screw driver the woman’s face and Charlotte zoomed in on the face.
In the editing process we also recorded the sound in another classroom and added the piano music to the montage. We faced some challenges with this due to other background noise when recording. However, we managed to record the music and add it to our montage sequence. We thought that the dark, piano music would fit in with the mise-en-scene. We then started to edited the the montage and move some of the clips to the right place. When filming we decided to cross cut clips – the first section and the second section, we edited this part into iMovie and put everything together.
CONTINUITY EXERCISE
Wednesday 16th September
Our task for this lesson was to make a short clip in order to put it into practise.In our group of five, we firstly brained stormed ideas on what storyline we wanted for our continuity exercise. We decided that the main plot was going to be based on “Who wants to be a millionaire?” On the final questions with Tom as the host and Charlotte acting as the guest on the show. Preesha was the director.
Some of the problems/challenges we faced whilst on set, were that the green screen was not wide enough to fit the frame (e.g. the over the shoulder shots). To solve the problem we had our actors swap seats and when editing we would reverse the shot, so we would not break the 180 degree rule and this gave the audience the illusion that they had never moved.
We also had to deal with the background noise on set of the other groups interfering whilst we were filming.
