mission.*

4. Location Photos• Here are photos of the location we filmed our Preliminary video at.
We chose this location as it gave us the opportunity to have more
variety of shots. The following shots are in chronological order so
it is easy for everyone to understand what order the Preliminary
video will go in.
The following shot is our establishing tracking shot of the worker walking
towards the apartments.
This is the building that the worker will be entering. We will use a lot of
camera angles here such as close-ups on the door handle being
used and medium shots of him walking towards the door.
5. Location Photos continued
• This shot is where the worker with the bag opens the door to
make his way to the destination. We will use match-on-action to
keep the video smooth and continuous with no uncomfortable
shots. The film will lead from the front door to the apartments to
the yellow door which is the leader’s apartment or hideout. This
will lead to the hallway and the living room where most of the
shots will take place..
6. Production Photos
• Here are a few pictures of Will and Connor working on different shots
and camera angles for our preliminary video. The first picture is of us
doing an establishing shot, the second being the over the shoulder shot
and the third being the tracking shot.
• Here we have Connor working on the over the shoulder shot when both
characters are talking to each other. The practice of experimenting with
different camera angles helped us make our video more engaging and
more interesting.
7. Timeline
• Here is the timeline for our Preliminary Video. It tells us what will happen when, how and when the credits will appear.
8. Storyboards
• Here are our storyboards, dictating what shot we need to do and what order it should be in. We tried to get different types of camera angles so
it's more interesting for the audience instead of the same types of shots every time.
9. Overhead Plan:
• This is our overhead plan and shows where our character is going,
what sort of camera angles and shots we will use and where we will
use them. We gave a wide range of ideas and eventually came to a
conclusion as to what we were going to do.
10. Mind-map
• This is a shot of our first mind-map idea and the
developed ideas. It's a quick mind map of what props
we would use, what the plot will be and the narrative
enigmas we will use in the video.
