So far, the brainstorming progress has been going well. One of my partners, Michael, is sick at home today, so this leaves Ernest and I to have more creative control. Our brainstorming progress was practically over a couple of days ago as Michael and Ernest agreed on the storyline, and I concentrated on putting it in script form. So far, Ernest and I were discussing different shots that we could use such as high and low angles. Ernest completed the logos when Michael was here and he's focusing on making his production company right now while I'm finishing up and refining the script. This will still be a work in progress since I need to make sure that we all agree and we’re on the same page when Michael returns, but I’m more worried about making the details on the camera shots and positioning of sound effects and music coherent enough for my teammates to follow.

For the movie opening project that’s currently in the making, I chose Ernest and Michael (click their names to view their blogs) to be my partners. They are my choice because we all worked well together during the sound art project. This time our group will work on the movie opening project and the genre that we want to represent is a satirical mockumentary.

Storyboarding is the process used mostly in film to capture a specific scene in time and detail it with descriptions of what is going on along with the drawn piece in order to perfect what’s needed to bring a scene to life. What I learned about storyboarding in this lesson was the extensive process that was needed to detail the future scenes before a filmmaker goes out to get equipment and casts. Some storyboards with smaller boxes – like the one I made – are more reliant on texts while others that are larger ones are more focused on the art and add in additional details to the inside of the portrait. The storyboard gives the creator a sense of the mise en scène that needs to be addressed in the financial aspect and creative liberties. By mapping out the potential scenes that don’t get scrapped, they can focus on the costumes, – it could be medieval for a historical type of movie – lighting, – lowkey lighting for the scary moment of a horror film – and more.
