Planning for Final Task: Storyboard

 

The storyboard begins with a close-up of the main character sleeping. Her alarm goes off and when she opens her eyes music begins to play. It then cuts to the bathroom. The camera pans up from the mat in front of the shower as the music plays and the studio title is then shown in the center. It then cuts again to a mid-shot of the bathroom sink and mirror and the production company title is shown. The main character, Mac, then walks up to the mirror in an over the shoulder shot after the title goes away and begins to brush her teeth while making a face at herself in the mirror. In the next scene there is an establishing shot of the kitchen and the title of the movie is displayed in the center. It then cuts to Mac attempting to catch food in her mouth from two different angles. 

The camera then cuts to a mid-shot of Mac in the kitchen, looking at and talking to the camera. The camera then pans to Mac's homework assignment on the table. And then cuts to a long-shot of Mac sitting at the table attempting to do her homework while consistently checking the time before pausing to talk to the camera. After this, the camera cuts to the night before and shows Mac in her living room laying around and throwing a ball. The next slide shows Mac later on that night dancing around room and then cuts to Mac trying on different clothes while looking in the mirror.


The next scene is Mac in her kitchen again, however it is still the night before, and she is cooking something on the stove. The non-diegetic music stops as she yells to her mother about seasonings before the camera then cuts to her back at the table with her homework the next day. She talks to the camera again before the scene cuts to the next. In the next scene she packs up her things before walking away from the table. The executive producer and producer title is shown as she does this. The camera then cuts to her outside leaving her house and the music begins to play again. The story by title is shown as this happens.  The next scene is a shot of her surroundings but not of her and the written by title is shown. The screen then goes black and the directed by title is shown. The opening sequence ends.

These are extra scene sequences that may be added depending on the amount of footage I end up having:

 Today I went over the footage that I have. Since all of the shots had more than one take I wanted to thoroughly analyze each one on their own. First I looked at each take separately. Then I looked at each take when compared to the others. After choosing the ones I personally felt were the best I went to my family to ask their opinion. After hearing what they had to say, I then went to a few of my peers to ask their thoughts. My plan was to obtain feedback in order to make a good decision on which takes I should upload into the editor. Since uploading the footage to the computer can be quite the process I wanted to be sure I would not have to go back and replace any clips with another. I figure if that were to happen it would make editing more tedious. After doing this I then proceeded to search alternative music options, as my attempts to get into contact with the artist of the music I originally wanted to use did not go as planned. Through searching I found this online site calle...

 I have been working on the last tidbit of editing. An obstacle occurred when my editing software crashed. It refused to reopen so I had to seek other means of regaining the work I had already done. I had to completely switch over to a different computer and relocate my footage in order to begin editing again. Since the names of the files were different on each computer I had to refer back to the files on the first one in order to decide which one needed to be added into the locate asset slot on my reopened editing software. Some files were created while in the software. Due to this, when saved they were not compatible for opening on the other computer. Ultimately I had to recreate them. However, that took little time so I quickly was back at the point I had planned to continue from. All of them were strictly audio anyway. However, the software I am using got rid of a portion of the music I was using. Due to this I had to add it twice to make up for the lack of length that it once ...

  Props My main prop will be an unopened bottle of water. Other props that may be used are water. Costume I am debating on whether or not I would like to use an actor for at least one shot. If I do choose to use an actor then their costume will be simple. Shorts, t-shirt, running shoes,  or some other type of sports attire. However, if I do not then there would be no actor in my commercial and therefore no costume anyone needs to wear. Schedule On 10/22/20: I researched conventions and codes of bottled water commercials. On 10/23/20: I established props, costume, schedule, location list, and backup plan. On 10/25/2020: I will begin creating the storyboard for the commercial and it will be done by or before 10/27/20. On 10/27/2020: I will have started filming and recording the necessary shots for my commercial and that will be done before the night of 10/29/20.  On 10/29/20: I will begin the editing process. Adding or removing what needs to be removed. Giving the commercia...
