Before storyboarding the final task, my group and I decided to discuss how we would implement the learning from the previous task into this one. One problem we encountered with the previous task was that our cam was often shaky when performing handheld and tracking shots. Therefore, we have agreed to use a dolly or tripod for the majority of the shots we take. After going over this with our teacher and reflecting on the mark scheme we decided this was a necessity as steady shots account for a large portion of the marks.
Moreover, this gave us further inspiration for the shots we had previously brainstormed. We adapted the plan to reduce the amount of handheld by using more steady shots and close-ups. Despite this, we can still edit the footage we take to look distorted and disturbed through editing or using canted angles. We then researched more ways to represent a disturbed character and setting, for example: colour-correcting shots, changing focus throughout shots, erie or sharp diegetic ambience etc...
As I am drawing and planning the storyboard along with help from Benoit, I have decided to do further research into camera angles and mis-en-scene. Before doing so, I drafted a storyboard with shots I could possibly use throughout the intro to signify that the character is disturbed in a dangerous environment. In doing so, I hope to have more inspiration when drawing out the final storyboard.
