Pitch!

I prepared a script for our pitch to ensure that we all had enough to say and so we could deliver our ideas in the most effective way. The pitch went really well. We talked about all the fundamental aspects of film and really tried our best to sell the film. Miss Ledwidge liked our ideas but said we needed to work on our storyboard-making it more detailed, as though it was explaining and presenting all the details of our film. Because we realised that drawing around 60 frames was impractical, we decided to produce a photographic storyboard on a programme called celtx... where you upload pictures you have taken- inserting them in the correct places, and writing down the descriptions. The programme automatically formats the storyboard, making it easier for us to produce. We took the photos of ourselves, each posing as one of the characters. It only took us around 30 minutes to take the photos, which was quicker than drawing them. We also formatted our script in Celtx, which makes it look more professional and easier to read etc.

We plan to start filming next Friday, where we will set up in a location, such as a back garden and try and shoot the sequence in one go.
