Strip boarding

 Today we are going to talk about strip boarding. Strip boarding is another important key to filming our opening scene. Lets just get right into it.


What is strip boarding?

Strip boarding is a chart containing color coded strips each strips containing information about a shot or scene in the films script. This is also somewhat of a calendar and can help you in creating your production calendar (there will be a blog for information on production calendar). This is a very important thing to do so you can be cognizant of what's going on in each scene. It can also help you film quicker. For example, in my groups strip board we have ours color coded by location. This is a very helpful technique because it helps you make filming everything a whole lot easier. It also helps you finish off shooting locations and ensures you that you don't have to go back and forth with locations. For our opening scene we have two locations. One which may consist of one our house or just use one of our teachers classroom. We have to set the location for the run down house part. The second location is a park near my house. This park has everything we need the bathroom, the mirror inside the bathroom, and a sidewalk for us to walk on. Some parks don't have all of these but this is perfect for our opening. 

Why is strip boarding important?

Strip boarding helps you stay organized with your shots and dates. Just like a production calendar, it keeps you on track and makes everything easier to film. A strip board tells you whose in the shots/scene and where it is located. 

To sum it all up, strip boarding is an essential key to staying organized while filming. 
The chart consists of :
  • locations 
  • charcters in shot/ scene 
  • color coded scenes/ shot in same location to make filming easier

About our film

 Today I will talk about our film. We are going to talk about Who will be in the film, Where it will be, How it be made, and When we think we will be able to film. So lets get with this information about our film. Who will be in our film? The people in my group are: Ethan  Mayera  Xena  This was my choice because I wanted to be in a group with people who are cognizant of what they are doing. Sometimes I zone out when people are explaining something to me so sometimes I don’t know exactly what to do. They are also love to keep high grades and they keep me on task when I tend to slack off. Sometimes I know what I'm doing and am able to tell them what I remember hearing. What will we be doing? We will be doing a horror film. At first , I made the suggestion of doing horror comedy but when we were researching there were barely any horror comedies that were easy to find and horror movies kept popping up. Some shots/scenes will not follow the conventions of horror because we wanted somet

Post Production week

 Hello welcome back to my blog. Today we are going to talk about how the process we are currently going through. Our process The process that we are going through is very stressful yet it fulfills us with joy. After we finished the script, storyboard, and every other item in the process of starting film, ideas started to emerge in our minds. Instead of flash forward we thought of doing a flashback and instead of recording in this area we will record here. Just lots of ideas starting to form that we would re-look our own script. I feel this normal. For example, when your writing an essay or going to order food you wouldn't have too many ideas at first but when actually are doing you start having many ideas. We actually started film on Wednesday February 23 but we didn’t finished and had to redo it. It was so stressful to shot because of distractions and other people who didn’t know of then project just coming up and asking questions or just watching in general.  Most current  Curren
