Workshop, Pre Production.

For this exercise Chris set us into pairs, i was put into a group with Raina, and set us the task of coming up with a script and story board for a short sketch with the following guidelines.

• it must be filmed on the fourth floor



• Must not contain weapons or bad language



• Must only contain one character but there must be dialogue.



• the character must not have a name or gender.

with 1 long shot, 2 close ups, 1 medium shot and 1 over shoulder shot.

At first i found it difficult to come up with an idea for a script for just one character after speaking to Chris i decided to do our script about a person in the hallway on the phone. Although it sated there must not be a name or gender i asked Chris if i could name the character 'Sam' because 'Sam' can be used for a name for a boy or girl. i found it relatively easy and once i finished that i started putting the directions and information 0onto the storyboard was absent that day and made notes down the side of my script as to what camera angles should be used for easy reference.

When that was finished we swapped scripts and storyboards with another group. We got Arron and Johns script and Storyboard. After looking through the script i made a Shooting schedule. I found it hard working to someones Else's work. I found that the Script wasn't very clear in places and there were errors regarding the criteria and there wasn't enough information in places, after discussing this with Chris Raina and I made a few changes to the Script and Storyboard and Started Filming. We Found filming Easy and Finished it fairly Quickly. On the whole i thought they had come up with a good concept and after we finished filming and watched it back found it worked quite well.
