Today we created 3 short film clips of how we wanted to portray the weather. We had to use 3 different shots being; Close Up, Medium Shot and a Long Shot. We had to create a storyboard of our ideas incorporating the three different shots.The storyboard helped to clearly convey the narrative of what I wanted my clips to show and helped by outlining the challenges that we may face during production. After creating our storyboards we took our three design ideas and went off to capture the moving image that we had in mind. Our first shot was our Long Shot of which i feel we didn't capture the image that we had conveyed in our storyboard. I say this because I don't feel there was an actual focal point to the clip, whether it was the flowers or the birds. Our second shot of the leaves on the tree (our Close Up) lacked camera movement although, the subject of the image supplied the movement by the leaves blowing in the wind. This was my favourite shot out of the three as it felt calming to watch. Our third shot (the Medium Shot) also didn't work out as planned because in our storyboard we wanted to have the leaves blowing in the wind and in our actual clip we had a member of the crew throwing leaves in the air. However I do feel that if we h§§ad the weather that we needed then this concept would've worked well.
