MARK KAMARA - A2 MEDIA PORTFOLIO
Similarly to the previous shoots, we have created the storyboards and shot list simultaneously. We began by planning for shots, Amid then drew the storyboards as I wrote down the shot description, which effectively became the shot list. Since our shoot is planned to have four different performance scenes, the shot lists have been divided into four different documents.
The shot lists correspond to the storyboards which can be seen in the next page. Unlike the first shoot, I will not need to reorder the shots for efficiency, as we will be in our own location, closed off from the public, allowing us to have time to spare for changing and moving equipment around. One of the shots in the shot lists below, for each scene state, ‘interpret shot on the day’, and this means that Danella, and us, when in shot, will be asked to carry on or repeat our actions, and we will effectively film the shot that we feel best captures the moment, such as a different angle showing all of us performing, that we may not have thought of in these planning stages.
Before and during storyboarding, I had created a scene breakdown and added notes to that, which can be seen in the photo below:
DAY 3 - SHOT LISTS
Below is an embedded document of all of the shot lists for this shoot:
With these shot lists, alongside all the storyboards we have created, I believe we are really prepared and organised for our shoot, meaning that we know exactly what to film, allowing us to experiment with what works best with Danella. The next page shows the storyboards that we’ve created, as well as animatics of how the shots may look like when edited together.
