Planning our film pitch for a teen musical we used prezi. I had never used it before but it was a useful way to spread out my prelim task planning. After making an account I chose a suitable layout and design for my genre, after this I started to type up my planning which included; the title, genre convections, characters, scenes one-six description, the script, music, props and settings and a production diary for the two week task.
I first typed the genre circle which explains a brief description of what is typically seen in our genre, I then said what our group could do to make it more realistic to the genre.
For the second circle I started explaining the scenes; where they are set and what happens. I did this for all scenes one to six saying what was involved.
After writing up what will happen in each scene I added the script which shows who speaks when and why. It is only short but we still included what we needed to, this one script is the only part in the film which uses dialogue.
For music, props and settings I listed what these will include, for music we decided a lot should be used considering it is a musical, however we used these songs pretending it was the actor singing as it involved more skill of putting music correctly over the actor lip singing.
My production diary is organised by each day over the two weeks where I described what our group did each day, this will help for future tasks as I will know how we used our time and how I could improve it next time. For example, we used too much time coming up with ideas which meant we had less time filming leading to less time editing.
Overall, prezi was useful for this planning as it was easy to use and is an interesting way to view the planning instead of just writing it up on a word document.
Shown below are the storyboards we used for our prelim task, I added them to my prezi but they were unclear so I have enlarged them onto my blog.
When creating our storyboards we used this simple layout so we could add images and text, we wrote a short description below and quickly drew a cartoon to show the setting and what happens in each scene.
