Story Boards (first piece of work)

This story board is about a student walking to an interview they have. Showing different angles of shots that link to one another, getting the best lighting and angles of the person in the shot. In the video it shows a student talking to their teacher about some work their stuck on which uses dialogue to explain the reason for the video being made. We did this video so we could get used to recording different people and being able to set up a scene and see how we would edit the shots together, as this is a very short video.
In the first story board box shown on this page, it shows a person walking towards a door using a mid shot so you get to see the persons face and top half of their body which is important so we can see the background as well. It is filmed for 2 seconds and has no dialogue. The camera then changes to a long shot show the person approaching the door, so now you can see where they are heading. This shot is filmed in 4 seconds and has no dialogue. After the camera changes to a close up showing the person approaching close to the door and leaning towards it to open. This clip is done in 2 seconds and has no dialogue. The fourth clip then shows an action match shot where it goes from one shot to another showing the person opening the door to when they walk in and close the door behind them. This is filmed in 4 seconds and has no dialogue.
In the firth story board it shows the camera as over the shoulder shot show you get the view of the student looking at the teacher sitting in front of them. This clip is shot for 2 seconds and has no dialogue. Then the camera changes to long shot showing the student and teacher sitting at a table looking at each other talking. The dialogue used in this clip is the teacher asking the student to "take a seat, what can I do for you". This clip is shot for 2 seconds. After the camera goes to the teacher and students eyes and does a eye-line match shot showing them talking to each other and the student saying "I need a mock paper please". This is shot for 2 seconds. The final camera shot is a close up of the students face which is happy and is shot for 2 seconds.
There were 4 people in my group working together. One recording, two playing the part in the recoding being the actors/actress and the director. We then went onto the computers and edited all the clips together with the sound, making our first video. This was just a feel for what the software would be like that we would use next year when making are music video's.
