Updated! - Preliminary Task #1 and current HW

Hello gentlemen,


CURRENT BLOG ASSIGNMENT:
For your current Opening Sequences assignment, have a look at Alexis' blog post from last year.  Make sure you also look at the comments I left for her!


TASK PLANNING:
For now you should be completing the following-

• Brainstorm
• Storyboard
• Script
• Location
• Props & Costumes - list them, source them, bring them in
• Possible Talent - choose and approach for willingness and availability on the day
• Filming day options - finalise and CONFIRM WITH TALENT
• Callsheet for talent - make it simple for them so they know what they need to bring
• Shot list for yourselves - this helps you plan out how you will manage your time
• Group roles - who will do what on the day?  Who will act as timekeeper?  Director?  Cam-op?
• Equipment list - plan NOW what you'll need; don't be scrambling on the day

NEXT BLOG ASSIGNMENT:
As we discussed in class, the next blog assignment will be the Preliminary Task #1 planning.  Besides the task requirements on p33 of your coursebooks, that planning will need to include:

• Brainstorm
• Storyboard
• Script
• Props & Costumes - list and examples, plus rationale for your choices
• Conventions you intend to employ, and rationale

All of this will feed your Creative Critical Reflection, which we will discuss more fully at a later time.  For now, get your planning ready and get filming!  :)

Have fun.
