Direction's Unit: Shot Planning

Today i spoke with hannah, chris and hayley about the shots needed for the film. I found using a shot last last time made me think less about the film creatively and it was very structured. As i was directing and a lot of my ideas are in my head i found talking tot the crew a better way of communicating them across.

They all completely understood what kind of style i was going for and even said they would watch a few silent films to get themselves prepared for the shoot. For the meeting i thought over the shoulder shots would be good and a side on shot to to see the characters gestures more. Plenty of close ups of the characters faces and wider shots to capture their movements.

I found this experience to be a lot better than shot listing because mentally i can see my seen but i can't seem to write down what that shot is and the last time i did storyboards they looked like a child had done them.

Now I've got work experience for a week so i think I'm ready for my filming.

Stay safe,

Helen
