Fatal Motive Evaluation

 

With the continuity task I was in a group of five, we got together a few days before the filming to decide on narrative. Max did some rough storyboarding as a way of taking notes on ideas.  I then scripted and storyboarded the production a day before the filming as I thought we were going to do it sometime before. This was an example of why I didn't end up working with the majority of people in that group, we had several opportunities to further plan but I was the one who ended up doing most of the pre production tasks. This is something I really didn't want to occur with my final production so I made every attempt to plan ahead. This didn't always go to plan (as actors weren't always available) but we had a complete script, storyboard and animatic before anyone else and we always had goals for days as well as progress to report so we were really efficient in terms of planning. We did however film the final production a bit late due to actors backing out but were always sure that nothing else had to be done before we filmed. For example, I composed all the music before the film was filmed so I could fit it to the film after we filmed. We also had exactly what we wanted to film, scene for scene, planned out before we filmed on the day. The actors knew exactly what we wanted to film as I had sent them the script and this made things a lot more fluid than the preliminary task.
