Helping a stranger – short film

In your groups
Spend 5 minutes looking at the footage you shot before
See how much camera shake you had
Length of clips (should be short)
Framing of shots
How limited the sound is

Spend 15 minutes making a storyboard for a 2-3 minute film called ‘Helping a stranger’
e.g. The stranger drops their purse/wallet – you get it back to them
Maybe the stranger doesn’t want your help
e.g. You find someone who appears lost – you take them to a police officer – but they turn out to be a robber and the police officer runs after them (You would need some way of showing the Police Officer – maybe a sign attached to them)
Giving directions
Maybe the stranger is lost – s/he asks for directions – but you actually take them there yourself.

Write in what titles (text) you will use
Think about the music you can put over it
What shots (Close/Mid/Long) will you use

You should have one cameraman
Use the other members of your group as the actors

– Film in small takes
Don’t keep the camera rolling
– Should be silent movie style (you can add text in titles)

1 Hour to film
DON’T go out of the school grounds/hardplatz
DON’T go on the main road
DON’T go by the lake

If you need to leave the school grounds
FIRST get permission from me
THEN you need to sign out
