BLUEPRINTS
Today in class, my group and I worked on polishing our shot list, since most of our overview was vague and content-based rather than specific to camera position. Three of us were able to meet on a call during class to discuss our shot list, but we were having a difficult time doing so since I am the only person who has visited the location of filming. Although I had a clear vision of what shots we could get, the others were rather confused on how the pictures of the office I sent all come together. To fix this, I shared my screen with them and drew a basic layout of the building using boxes (or, well, attempted boxes) and text. I explained to them some minute details of the location that could help us, such as the dark hallways and birthday decorations that have yet to be taken down.
Being TV students, we are rather used to working on these types of projects, and we have had enough time to understand how we work best. We appreciate having a basic outline, but we also accept that we are likely not going to follow it when we get to the location, especially since the others have yet to see it in person. I don't expect us to follow our outline or storyboard (coming soon!), but it is a nice plan to have in case we begin to forget that this is just a film opening and let the excitement of filming distract us from the story we need to create.
