Creative Journey - Entry 4

Recently, I have managed to make a lot of progress both in school and at home researching and working in my own time. I covered:
  • Role Allocation
  • Storyboards
  • Locations
Role Allocation

Role allocation was abnormally easy for me due to working on my own, it meant that every role besides acting was distributed to me. However, to gain a bit of extra knowledge I looked into Auteurism in my own time to get a better understanding on how people work solo in the industry.


Storyboards

For my storyboards I found a program website online called 'Storyboardthat.com'. It essentially allowed me to use cartoon characters, props and backgrounds to design a storyboard for my music video. I thought this was a great idea as I was using technology to develop a clearer storyboard that was quicker than drawing it by hand. Therefore I developed a 12 panel story board detailing the music video.


Locations

My locations research was easier and quicker than expected. Because I was filming in an area that I live in and travel around I knew exactly where I wanted to film. I had previously discussed with my actor as to whether we could film inside his home and he kindly agreed thus giving me one of my locations. The second location is simply over the road from his house as we both know that it has the look that I desire.


To obtain images of these locations I simply had to go onto Google Maps and screenshot the locations rather than the traditional method of venturing out to find locations with a handheld camera.
