Storyboard 1 - Shenay



This is our first draft of our storyboard. Creating a storyboard was useful as we were able to put our ideas on paper and see how our documentary would pan out. This meant that we were able to see whether certain footage could be used with one another or not. After putting it all on paper and deciding what order the scenes go in we then decided to create a second storyboard which was in much more detail, which we believed would make our thoughts and ideas much more clearer.

Update/Reflection

This week we have been filming in various locations, for example we got the equipment into the car and drove to Graces' house in order to get some home footage.Here we faced difficulty in time management as we needed to film article footage and Vox pops, however we had to do this in a short amount of time. In order to make sure we were on schedule we set a certain amount of time to film each scene. We also got the chance to experiment with different shot types such as an extremely high over the shoulder shot. We believe this shot was useful as showing the use of social media at home reinforces the idea of obsessions; which is a point we want to make in our documentary.

We have also been playing with different shots in the class room, we started using books as props. We faced difficulty when filming a low angle shot, as we couldn't get grace into the shot, to overcome this problem, we used books from around the class room to put under the camera in order to give it some height.We then got the perfect shot.
