Video story

TEA TIME My second assignment was to make a video story out of only 10 shots which included establishing, master, medium, closeup, top angle shots and etc. I kept the story simple because my idea was very spontaneous and random. I saw my mom making tea, and it quickly created a video in my head where I could show all these shots creatively.  The video starts with a title of the story and then shows a master shot of a clock. Then there are a bunch of medium shots and top angle shots as well. I ended the video on a closeup shot. The star of my story was tea (obviously as the title suggests) but I had to keep in mind a few things : The video should consist of only 10 shots Must contain at least one of each shot e.g master, top angle, closeup etc. A title in the beginning and end credit title with my name Edited properly with appropriate music

Photostory

MORNING ROUTINE Titled this assignment as my morning routine. This is the first assignment given to us which required both creative and photography skills. The task was to show a story just by using photos, which included shots such as establishing shot, master shot, close up shot, medium shot etc. This assignment was a follow up of the previous assignment where we learnt different techniques for different kind of shots. This, however, gave a depth to our skills where we were supposed to present a story keeping in mind the various shots we've learnt. From this task, i got to know how a series of photos alone can show a story. I tried to keep the story simple and easy so it was easier for me to focus on showing the shots and it's composition.

Film Production Workflow

Phases of Film Production Our concern is with only three phases that is pre-production, production and post-production. The first phase that is pre-production, consists of everything important before filming. Such as, screenwriting, story boarding, casting, crew etc. The first script written has to be the overview of the story so that the producers, directors or the actors may consider it. Then is the final script which is a detailed and informative script for everyone. A storyboard is a series of drawings that articulate how every scene will compliment the camera angles and the shots. The setting of a film i.e the scenery, the props etc is called mise en scene. Only way a film will come on the big screen or any screen is when it is funded by investments for it to be made huge. You first cast actors to play roles, choose set, costume designs, scout locations. Figure out all the props for the scenes and time and schedule every scene to liking of everyone.
