Preliminary Task: Theory

 Theory

After we completed our first preliminary movie we made a review and divided the sections into – Theory, Technology and questions. This post will focus on the Theory aspect of the review.

When discussing theory we were a bit confused on what would be classed as theory and what would be technology, but this is what we came up with.

·         Making fake blood and scars

As weird as this may seem we did indeed make scars, cuts and bruises for our main character but as it did not go with her skin colour and it was too heavy we decided to abandon that idea and just draw on the cuts and splash fake blood in her face.

·         Script Writing

The script work was an obvious element of theory work so there was no confrontation on this but as we did it as a group we could all have the same opinion on the script.

·         Storyboarding

Storyboarding was another obvious element of theory work as it also included all of us in the group but involved using paper.

·         Choosing the right location

Choosing the right location was very easy at first because of the lighting but then when it came to editing, we then had so much problems we changed the location to a class room.

·         Interpret text into film

I found this kind of hard personally, I say this because all the ideas that were thought of and written out were very difficult to portray film so I believe we struggled a bit there.

·         Using free time effectively.

I honestly think that as a group we did use our time effectively but I also think that what we completed in the short time could have been better. Thus leading us to create a new video.
