Back to the future story boarding

in media last week we took a look at the opening sequence to 'back to the future'. the reason we did this was because we were looking at how to do storyboards. we started off with just discussing what is in a storyboard like shot types, shot numbers and information of the shot. after this we watched the clip of back t the future and we had to study what was in the clip like sounds and shot types. the reason we did this was because we were going to draft out what we saw on screen and draw it onto a storyboard. we did this to test out our storyboard skills. this will help me in my coursework because i will know how to prepare and draw out a storyboard properly. and also be able to make storyboards correctly.

BBFC Lesson

We began by looking up the classification of the ratings U and PG on the bbfc website. http://www.bbfc.co.uk/classification/guidelines/u/ .Then we watched clips from a selection of films with the rating of U and PG. We had to identify in groups whether they were PG or U. This helped us to make our children's film opening as it gave us the guidelines we had to stay within. Also the lesson helped us to know how films are classified and why. 

Back to the future storyboarding

In this lesson we watched the opening sequence of Back to the Future. We took notes about significant things in the opening. We then storyboarded the opening sequence showing the significant moments and objects in shot. We did this to help with our storyboarding for our children's film opening.

BBFC Lesson

In this lesson we looked at the clasification of UK shown films. We began by looking at the clasification for the U category on the BBFC's Website (http://www.bbfc.co.uk/classification/guidelines/u/) and made a poster on this (shown in a previous post). We then discused with other groups the clasification for PG films and shared with the class (http://www.bbfc.co.uk/classification/guidelines/pg/). This lesson helped up to know what films are clasified by and how each claification is decided. This will help us with our project as it means that we know what it appropriate for our film as it is aimed at children.

Back to the Future storyboard task

During one lesson we had the task of producing a storyboard for the opening sequence for the film 'Back to the Future'. We began by analysing the film by taking notes on key parts of the opening and then sharing them in our groups. We then decided on key parts and put them into a story board. This helped with our drawing of the storyboard for ou childrens film. We learnt that storyboarding is an essential part to the making of a film.

storyboards

We are going to film it in the order of the storyboard because that is the most efficient way. This is because none of the shots are similar in area so there isn't much point in filming them in an order other then in the order of the storyboard.
