production log week 11

Throughout this week me and my partner created a script for our opening sequence. This included the; Location, Shot type, Camera angle, Camera movement, Duration, Dialogue, Graphics, Music & sound effects, Description of action, Actors and Equipment; all of which we will need within each shot of our opening sequence. 

Creating a script is a good way on keeping our production organised so that when we are filming, everything goes to plan. The script will also help the Actors in our film because although we will be directing them ourselves, for them to get a better understanding they can also look at the script as it is very specific on each shot.  

When making the script we found it difficult to divide each section of our opening sequence into each individual shots because the duration of each shot had to be very specific, as it had to add upto two minutes in total. Me and my partner both fixed this issue as we made sure all shots were reasonably long for the total of our opening sequence to add upto two minutes long. We also had to think very carefully about the music and sound effects we included as we want to make the sound flow fluently on top of the composed soundtrack. 

These were the Do's and Don'ts for the script we had to create this week.
