We did call sheet,timeline, mood board and arranged the storyboard.Did tiny changes to the script and combined them in the proposal including research.

Based on our research call sheet are imperative to organizing a film shoot. They help your crew and cast to be organized, on time and prepared, and help keep your production on schedule. Essentially, it is your plan for what is going to be shot on any given day.

1)Start with basic information, the date, what day of the shoot it is (such as Day 2 of 9) and where the location is. List your crew call time (example 7 a.m.) and the time you expect to begin shooting (example 8:30 a.m.).

2) Start with the first scene of the day. List the scene number, the numbers of the cast needed for that scene (See How to Breakdown a Script for Film Production Scheduling), and the cast call time.

3) Complete the above step for each scene to be shot that day.

4) Include additional crew information toward the bottom of the page, for example extras needed, stand-ins, etc.

Today was a fun day, we went around the school to take photographs for our storyboard. We were only able to take photographs indoors due to the rain but we got most of them. I feel that taking photographs for storyboard is good because drawing takes a lot of effort and I can't draw. It also gives us an accurate feel of how our shots will look like when we are filming. We will be taking outdoor shots for our storyboard tomorrow and do mood board.

Today was yet another consultation day. However, we learnt from Siew Cheng that writing a script isn't just writing a composition. It is supposed to be in a form of a dual column script. Initially, I was confused and found it quite complicating when Siew Cheng was explaining how to write an actual script. We finally realized the importance of research, and that we have not done enough research! So after class, we headed to one of the labs to do our research, and here's what our group found!

2 Column Shooting Script
A shooting script contains a very elaborate description of all shots, locations, character, action, sound and technical details of the film. Shooting script serves the following functions.

-The shooting script is a breakdown of all all camera placements and movements. All shots must have bolded shot descriptions:: ECU- extreme close up/ CU- close up / MCU- medium close up / LS- long shot or FS- full shot/ ELS- extreme long shot/ OTS- over the shoulder / XO- Cross-Shots-/ BEV- Bird’s Eye View/ 2S-FS - two shot full shot / WEV- Worms Eye View.

-Remember to include changes in camera angles and height in your descriptions as well.

-Every shot you chose should be motivated by the action and emotion in the script.

-Remember that your audience is looking for clues to understanding the details of your story.

-Remember WALLDO when visualizing your shots: (Wide, Angles, Linking shots, Low angles, Depth, Opposites)

-Any special effects or titles should also included in the shot descriptions.

-The shooting script also divides the film into separate locations. Therefore, all locations can be fixed and the possible shooting problems inherent in these locations can be foreseen.

-The script can be a guide in determining the exact length of the film by mentally timing out each shot.

-The script provides a break-down for the actors as to which shots and scenes they will be appearing in, when they will be needed during shooting.

-The shooting script includes the exact dialogue and sound you will hear at each precise moment of production.

Our final script would look something like this:

Sample Scene- In the drawing room of a house, a mother is pleading with the father. But the father remains stubborn. Their son is ease dropping on their conversations with a pistol in his hand.

Very detailed and specific. This will also make things much easier, simpler and not so complicated when doing our storyboard.

After a tiring and long day, we finally completed our script!

We will be starting our storyboarding tomorrow. (:

Today,we did a rough storyboard. So we can visualize better,before doing the script.Research on mood board.Ming Han entertained Cheryl and me with his cards tricks-which some will be included in the video.

Today we had no lessons as it was consultation day.

We have all decided to use Ming Han's idea (the card tricks) for our final video. However, we would either be modifying certain parts or combining some of Syuhada/my ideas together with his.

The following days ahead are going to be stressful! We have get ready our storyboard, moodboard, timeline, proposal and research by next friday!!! 

Time is running fast, we have not much time! So it's time to work!

Till then.

Group 1, 2 and 5(us) presented our work individually today. I thought we all were good. I did not attend class yesterday so I don't know how the presentation would be like and what is required. Luckily everything went smoothly during presentation and I hope I did not stutter. We will be deciding who's idea we will be using today. I think we did pretty well today as half a class because Siew Cheng said we did better than the other half that presented yesterday. Cheers.

-Ming Han
