Progress

So far I have finished my storyboard and have done a rough draft of my script.

When storyboarding I couldn't help but think back to when I did it for my year 11 music video coursework, which was a 3 minute long video and for a 3 minute long video I did at least 130 shots. This time, despite the fact the film is 5 minutes long, I found that I only managed about 85 shots in my storyboard for the whole thing. For a while I was worried that it wouldn't be enough shots, but because my short film is a mockumentary, alot of the shots is an interview with the main character, so those shots will be particularly long. This meant that the shots were less that I thought they would be, just because a few go on for at least 20-30 seconds.

I need to type up my script onto scriptbuddy.com in order to have the layout clearer and neater. But I did a rough draft of the script so that I could make storyboarding easier.

In the end, I think I will need to cut some shots out in order to make the time limit, but it is always better to have the whole thing run a bit longer, so that you can review it and make the necessary changes in order to make the film as good as it can be, but still within the time limit.
