Scans for First planning and also Feasibility.

Within this post I have a lot of my pre-production that I have started, this includes a basic spider diagram of different genres that I have decided would be feasible but also to see which is the most effective to write about afterwards. Another part of my preproduction was the decision of the best genre to do. This meant that I was able to only write up ideas for the chosen genres which saved me time to do other items of my pre-production.
The next item of my preproduction was the basic story board of my first ideas of my film which was the genre of Action. This also gave me the chance to practise the process of a storyboard but also it gave me ideas of which idea would be the best to do. The next part of my pre-production is the basic ideas of this Action genre which is just an outlining of what would happen throughout the story but to also make sure that it was coherent for the story to be at a professional quality. The last part of this section of Pre-production is my film proposal. This is used to outline my ideas and what I hope to achieve from this project. It outlines genre, ideas and the title of the project. This will help me to plan all of the future processes of the story but also make sure I do not come off topic of the idea that I have produced.

This is my in depth Spider Diagram which summarieses all of my original ideas.

This is the items i used to make sure i choose a feisable genre.

My basic story line of the Action  Idea but also Story board practise to make sure this is upto standard.

My first basic Ideas of the Action i planned.

This is  my proposal form film ideas.

My First Entry

Welcome to my project of single techniques!

My media blog starts today; our project is to make a 2-5 minute film extract using only a single camera to film. i started researching single camera techniques by looking at previous students work and also researching professional pieces released for the public to see. I will use this inspiration to make my footage unique, interesting and also captivating.

What Does Single Camera Techniques Mean?


A single Camera Techniques is as the name sounds, it is a film production where only one camera is used and is edited to make the footage more interesting, they are normally shot coherently with several shots considered. A major benefit that Single Camera gives to the director is that they have more control over the shots chosen and also makes the footage simple and easier to shoot due to not having to manage more than one camera.  On the other hand, using Single Camera means that a multi-camera shot would give more prospective and also more flexibility with the shots chosen. Also the allowance of errors with some shots with more footage means that the director and editing team have more chance of errors.

I have been planning my Single Camera techniques for a while now with many plans and ideas being written up and I will be having a discussion about these ideas and negotiating them with me teacher (MR Stephens) to make sure all my plans are viable and are in the best interest of my grades.
