The student conducted experiments for their film project, including filming from the killer's point of view by holding an iPad while chasing another student through a hallway. They also practiced moving shots by having people move an iPad and chair to film a chasing scene. This week, the student created pre-production slides for their PowerPoint covering locations, equipment, personnel, props, and started a storyboard. Developing the presentation and storyboard led them to realize some aspects of the project were too ambitious and needed simplifying.

1. FMP 2 Diary Week 5
Last week, I conducted two experiments, the killer’s point of view
shots and moving shots, for the killer point of view shots I held an
iPad up to my face and stalked Brody (who volunteered for my
experiments), I also chased him down a hallway with a person
holding the iPad over my shoulder. For the second experiment I got
a person to move the iPad from Brody to me and I got two more
people to move a chair with the iPad on it to make a moving/chasing
shot. This week, I started my pre-production Power Point where I
filled out the pre-production assessment section, I made slides on:
locations, equipment, personnel, props/costumes and I’ve just
started my storyboard. For the locations slides I explained that I
would be filming the exterior shots in the Hospitium building in
town gardens and the interior shots in my house. For the equipment
slide I explained I would be using my: iPad, Tripod, Microphone,
iMovie, Computer, YouTube and Wix. For the personnel slides I
explained that it would just be my parents and me doing all the film
roles and I had to list their strengths and weaknesses. For the
props/costumes slides I explained that I had most of the props and
costumes at home, but the practical effects would be hard to get a
hold of. Even though I just started my storyboard I was able to fill
out two sheets using my pencil. Writing this Power Point and story
board changed my ideas as my research showed that some aspects
of my project were too ambitious (locations, gore, costumes).
Therefore, I had to simplify some aspects of my project.
