Production Day and storyboard

In production day on monday we learnt a term called continuity. Continuity in media means to keep everything the same. For example, when you do a reverse over the shoulder shot you would use continuity to keep the characters clothing and hair in the same place each time you shoot the scene.

We got given a script about a man walking into a room, sitting down and exchanging dialogue with a receptionist. We then got given the genre psychological thriller and had to make the short scene in that genre. We then thought about the location of our film which was in the school geography office. We chose this place because it had a corridor and a waiting room area which fitted the script. After that we thought about character and we chose who was going to star in the film. We decided that Ashley would be BAZ and I would be ANNA. After this we got given a prop which was a brown wrapped present with a string bow on it which we had to use some way in our film. We decided that at the beginning of the film when Baz walks along the corridor he would have occasional flashbacks to which he was walking down the exact same corridor but with the present in his had. Then, at the end of the scene, the present would be shown somewhere in the waiting area but not in a flashback. This is what will make our film a psychological thriller.
