Our Progress - Keeping Ourselves Organised

During the Summer holiday we decided to use a notebook in order to record our ideas neatly, and to file our pieces of inspiration. We have utilised the space and sectioned areas for different pieces of appropriate planning. For example, we have recorded shot type ideas, and categorised them into 'narrative shots' and 'filler shots'. We have paper clipped in sketches of the shots (so that we are able to manoeuvre them from the book to a table to create an interchangeable storyboard) with short descriptions underneath to clarify exactly how we want the shot to appear and why it is relevant to our narrative.

The book has also been a useful tool in which we can record our ideas in relation to the lyrics of the song (as seen in planning in a previous post). We have the lyrics noted as well as the order of the shots as we would like them to appear in order for them to occasionally link to the lyrics directly. We need the shots to be precisely planned so that we don't waste any time when filming with our actors.

This is only a brief update, and a post to introduce the planning book, but others will follow to conclude our planning and preparation before filming.
