Storyboarding

We have reached the stage in our production where we have started to storyboard our film. We have finished the first scene and are now starting on the rest of our production. In the first scene involves the drug dealer being killed by the hitman, we have used lots of quick cut shots to build tension and give it a more action like feel. We also used more dynamic camera techniques to add effect such as, silhouettes, close ups, tracking and panning. We also used camera movement to build pace in-between shots. We hope to think that we have a wide variety of shots that will keep the first scene interesting, different and dynamic. A couple of improvements we could make to our storyboard is to add more detail in the pictures to give a better understanding of the shot because at the moment they are very basic and would be hard to interpret by anyone who wasn't there when we were initially planning and drawing it up. Another improvement would be to add the duration of the shot to give us a better understanding of timing throughout our short film so we can manage it. Below are some photos of our storyboard for the first scene.

Here are some photos of our first scene to give you and idea of how we started..








Target Audience

Dan, Dave and I discussed our target audience. Who we were aiming our film at and who we wanted to relate to it, we decided our genre already so with it being an urban drama, we decided that we would have a bigger hit with a younger age group. We chose to have our age range to be 15 - 25 years old. After researching similar products, we also decided on the colour treatment of our film and some crucial story line events. Viewing other similar products really gave us an edge and a better understanding on what we were going to achieve.
