Cambridge Portfolio Week 4 3/7, Film Prototype

New Plans

Hello, welcome to my second Cambridge Portfolio Blog of the week. This has been ready for posting for a bit, but due to some complications I have had to do it later. I have been working on my storyboard, but before I go any further on how exactly I envision this project, I decided to do a small rough film of a part of my storyboard, and I'm glad I did.
 

I realized that filming these shots was very difficult. You can see some poor lighting, and me struggling to keep the film steady and keep myself in frame. This means I need to take a different approach to the film. Since I now know I cannot do this by myself, I will enlist the help of my father to help me film. Another thing I have realized is that I do not have a dolly used in professional films, so even if I do have the help of another person, I will probably have to use post-production editing to remedy any shaking.

What this has taught me is that I need to think forward a little bit more, since writing something down or drawing it might sound good on paper, but not necessarily good in execution as shown in the video. This does not mean I will scrap my storyboarding, but I will need to film it differently.
