This course will provide hands-on film making experiences. Students will create their own production from start to finish. They will also learn how to view films critically. The first marking period is focused on film appreciation, film history, and pre-production. the second marking period is focused on production and the third marking period ends with post-production. The completed student films are then aired on local cable access television and distributed to film festivals.

ReplyDeleteI think story board is an essential element of movie making because it serves as a guide for filming a movie. If done well, the cameraman can easily follow the story board and create the movie that the director had in mind. It helped a lot to make a story board for our own project in order to film a successful movie.

ReplyDeleteI think the story board is an essential element of movie making because without a story board you aren't going to have plan. The story board makes it easy for the whole crew to create the movie knowing what camera angles they're filming in, the dialogue, and the characters.
ReplyDeleteI think that story boards are an essential element of movie making because it helps the director plan out his/her film shot by shot. Storyboards also make it easier to hold the production together and it gives you a pretty good idea of what you have to do next in the film.
ReplyDeleteI think that story boards are needed to make a film because they hold so many benefits. they show a basic picture, the camera angle, how long each shot should be, whose in the shot, and dialog. It puts the film together and shows basically what the films going to be on paper. without a storyboard time and money would be wasted.
ReplyDeleteWithout a storyboard, the crew would have no idea of how a scene should look and they would go into shooting with no knowledge of what to do. In order to organize the film and make sure that no money will be wasted you need to have a storyboard so you know which camera angles to use, who exactly is in the shot, how long the shot should be and what needs to be said in each shot. The storyboard acts as a way to organize the film and without it the crew would waste time trying to do so.
ReplyDeleteCreating a storyboard is an essential part of movie making. By creating a storyboad before actually shooting a movie, you're basically planning out the sequence of events, the type of shots, etc.Instead of shooting first, you organize all the ideas through a storyboard, essentially saving a lot of time. Having a storyboard acts as a guide when you're producing.
ReplyDeleteStoryboards are essential because it provides information about the shot, type of shot, angle, text used, music, etc. This is important because storyboards allow the planning of making a film, or putting together a film, not just improvising the film on the day of recording. If you choose not to do a storyboard, you have a great disadvantage, compared to actually doing a storyboard. The storyboard your create will show a preview of what the movie will ultimately be.
ReplyDeleteI think the storyboards are essential in the movie making business. The storyboards show exactly what should be in the shot; and helps keep the cameraman organized and shoot exactly what should be done. In addition, the storyboards also show the amount of time for each shot, the angle, and type of shot needed. Without the storyboard, the movie would not get done on time or on budget and that would not make the producer happy. The storyboard is a very detailed plan for the movie to be successful.
ReplyDeleteIn my personal opinion storyboards can see as an option, but important to us. If one does a very complicated film then it WOULD be very wise to do so because it can help visualize the imagery, or enhances it. Basically giving the filmmaker the chance to see things the way scripts may not be able to do (imagine The Good, The Bad and the Ugly was filmed with just the guidance of a script).
ReplyDeleteHowever, if the film is short by movie standards and the filmmaker cares for it just being straightforward, boring and simple (think those early films) then a storyboard is not needed because the ideas won't be overbearing and the director has this in mind. In fact, it is possible to use a format that COMBINES storyboarding and scripting, basically the script looks like a storybook (a practice commonly used by anime film directors in Japan).
