Tutorials Four and Five: Video production Sessions

In these Tutorials we learned some basic film production skills and the importance of planning and preparing for video productions. Our task was to work in a small group to produce a short film and to then post our short film onto YouTube. "YouTube is a video-sharing website on which users can upload, share, and view videos". Retrieved on June, 24, 2010, from www.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube.

The use of planning specifically storyboarding and scripting really helped make our short film possible. Storyboarding is the use of a sequence of pictures to tell the plot of the film as it will appear on screen. The storyboard is a plan of the end product. Our storyboard was made up of 10 pictures (scenes) and enabled all the members of my group to know exactly what was going to happen before we began filming. It was good because when we got stuck whilst filming or forgot a scene we could go back to our storyboard to help us remember what to do. The use of scripting enable the actresses in our short film to know everything they had to do and say. The use of a storyboard and of scripting enabled my group to make a great short film and made me realize how important good planning is to all films.
