Happy scenes for a couple..... Maybe. (ideas)

Planning and drafting.

Today my group rehearsed the scenes that might be included in our film, the reason we did it is so we have a clear idea of what camera angles is to go where, camera shots etc. Also to see what the acting scenes would look like. We recorded mini snippets of the rehearsal on an ipod touch, good quality but obviously it's not going to be used for our final piece. Next we plan to start filming in the weekend.

Storyboard

Did the storyboard today and yesterday for our (me,giang,nathan) short film, detailed enough for us and gives us a clear action plan to work with.

Finally made the music!

Today Giang brought in his guitar and he played me and Nathan the instrumental songs for the scenes that we will be shooting. The song will first be happy then slowly start to build up with tension/sadness, we discussed how long the song will be, how many times it should be played, then about slowing down the chords on the guitar and how it will be included in the scen, also discussing the camera angles. The performing arts department did us a great favour by letting us use one of their rooms and equipment to record our song.  Maybe i'll  soon be able to post the song.

A guitar is a great instrument!
