Storyboard - coursework

We spent 2 lessons doing the first draft of our storyboard. This involved deep analysis into cuts, timings, whats happening in the shot e.t.c. On lesson one there was only me and Chris in our lesson so we took it slowly and in a lot of depth to do the first 5 or 6 scenes. We thought about the non-diagetic we should use however we could not be definite as we wanted to talk about it with the rest of our group. Lesson two was came together more as all of the group could discuss our ideas. Chris tried to work out the timings and realised that the whole shoot would be very short so then Laura, Lauren and myself worked it out and felt it was slightly longer than Chris said.
We have yet to work out the location of our shoot. I think it would be much easier to do the camera set up in the studio however the shot including the hallway and the door will have to be done somewhere else. We are all looking into some non-diagetic music we can use and this will hopefully be sorted soon however I think it will change and there will be a discussion as each person will like their own music they find.
In the beginning we decided to use a digital camera to set up. This gives connotations of police detective, photographer, stalker and other connotations. However we changed our minds and decided to set up a film camera. When we conversed as a group we realised that maybe a film camera straight away goes to the idea of psycho rapist. So we might think about this and experiment between the two so we don't give any ideas away.
These two lessons were very helpful in laying out our shoot and work out where we are. We still have a lot to do but so far our group is getting on well and it is successful.
