Preliminary task storyboard

This is my groups storyboard for our preliminary task, Its basically a follow on of our 'shot types story' with a plot twist, mind the drawings, I was the artist behind them...sorry:) 
Mid shot- In this shot Charlie and Brooke are talking
and Brooke tells Charlie something about me.

Close up- The close up is showing Charlie's emotion
and how mad she is at me (lol sorry Charlie)

Long shot- Charlie's looking for me and
basically on a mad hunt

Long shot- Charlie walking towards the
camera

Shot reverse shot- Charlie looking through the
windows in the classroom looking for me

Shot reverse shot- Looking through the window

Match on action- Charlie is opening the door only
half way from behind

Match on action- Carrying on opening the door from the front
 

Close up - Charlie's face as soon as she opens the
door in rage at what she has been told

long shot- Me in class and then I turn and see Charlie
at the door

Close up- My face towards Charlie and my reaction
as I know that she knows (owp)

180 degree rule - I'm facing Charlie, looking at her

180 degree rule - Charlie is facing me, looking at me,
she starts walking towards me and I start backing
away

Tilt shot- Charlie grabs my hair :/

Preliminary Task

The preliminary task it to involve film and edit a character (Charlie) opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character (me)  with whom she exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue. The task should demonstrate match on action which basically gives the impression of continuity, shot/reverse shot which shows conversation between characters and finally 180 degree rule which is the idea that two cameras showing the characters at different angles within 180 degrees.


     <-------- (180 degree rule)
 Me and Charlie will be doing the 'acting' as such and Brooke will be behind the camera. We will be doing this outside in the same setting as we did the 'camera shot types' (which hasn't been posted yet lol) #leaked.We're doing this outside to create verisimilitude which means a realistic feel to it as its going to be a normal setting and a normal conversation between friends.

Introduction

Hi everyone, I'm Annabel, I'm in year 12 and this is my first time doing media. I don't have much experience with writing blogs or any previous skills so this could be eventful, I like watching films (or any sort of TV) but I've never had a go at making one. I'm not picky with films either, I'll watch anything as long as it makes me laugh. I'm pretty outgoing and talk to anyone unless I feel intimated which isn't hard at I'm 5 ft 2. I'm looking forward to being a bit more creative as most of my subjects I chose for A-level are social sciences... I'm nervous about how cringey I may come across and stepping out my comfort zone but I think it'll be a good experience for me and I'll be able to build my technical skills and become more comfortable with doing something I've never done before and adjusting to change. I think the task set will be a good way to apply my imagination too as we have to make a opening to a thriller film which will be very good to experiment with. Thought I'd keep this short nd snappy as no-one wants to read a novel for an introduction so bye *awkwardly waves bye*
