Parity Remake - Storyboard and Timeline

The other day Danica, Andrea and I met up and filmed our remake of Parity. We filmed it the the toilet at our school. I was the filmier, I tend to tilt the camera when shooting some of my shot because i think that it make the images look better and it is a better angle to use but as you will notice in the film i could not turn the camera back round so it is straight. So next time i film i will make sure i keep the camera the right was up and still.
Here is the story board:

The Parity remake:

Group meeting

Yesterday me and my group met up at my house and we filmed our remake of the Dexter sequence. It took 2 hour's to film the sketch.

Crime thriller film

Today in class we got split into to certain groups and we had to research different things, i got what makes a good Crime thriller film that appeals to a 18-25 year old audience, if you look at danica's blog she had to do An espionage/political thriller appeal to 18-25 year old male audience and andrea has on her blog, A psychological thriller appeals to 15-25 year old female audience.

I did a mind map/brain storm to do my research: 

Splice

Today in class we looked at the opening title sequence of Splice. We did a time line of when the titles appear in the title opening and how they are shown on the screen.

Evaluation of our Preliminary task

Write up of our preliminary task '6 ways to kill your husband'

When looking at our preliminary task, when the whole thing was completed. I thought we completed it really well, we managed to complete the brief quite well. The only bit we needed to work on a bit more was our camera angles for example the 180 degree rule.
Some of our conversations didn't flow but thats something we also need to work on. We used shot reverse shots and match on action on our opening which worked very well.

Story Board+ Script: 6th October 2011

Today in our lesson we had to take photos for our story board that goes towards our preliminary.
This is our story board, we made a couple of mistakes when taking the photo because this was our first time photographing a story board.
In shots 2+3 we took the photos from to far away and need to crop them down when shooting an also use a different angle in shot 2.
Also in shots 6+7+8 we jumped from photo to photo and it didn't look very continuos, so next time we are going to need to put some more shot in between the photo.
Sophie was our camera operator, Andrea was the police women and also our lights director.
