Tutorial four and five: video production

In these tutorials we learnt how to use a video camera to develop a 30 second short film and then uploaded this onto YouTube.
YouTube is a website that allows videos to be displayed on just about anything for examples stunts, expressing knowledge, sports footage or films.
The processes involved in producing the short film included planning, scripting and storyboarding. Scripting allows the thoughts and ideas of the author to be transmitted to the audience. The author must include much more than just dialogue in the script as it needs to be the basis for what is heard and seen on the screen. This includes moods and expressions, movement, interaction with other characters, special effects, lighting, camera angles, and background sound and setting. When writing the script the author needs to think of the major aim of the film, if it meets the target audience, and map out the beginning, middle and end of the plot.
Storyboards are a sequence of illustrations that are used to visualize actions in the film. It helps the directors and cinematographers find potential problems before they occur. They ensure that the film is well constructed.
