Film using still images

In Media our group task was to make a sequence of still images to form a short clip. To do this we had to use different camera shots to express someone being told some bad news.

Firstly, in class we got given some cut out still images from the film "ET". We studied these images and the camera shots used and tried to put these pictures in an accurate order. For example, there was a birds eye view of the town so we thought this would go first as it would be setting the scene. However, this picture was in the middle of the sequence of pictures as it was of the boys looking down on what they could see when in the air.

Here is a picture we thought came at the beginning:

However we put this image below at the end as it was them riding off in the sunset which appeared the scence was ending:

We then watched the clip of 'ET'. To watch this clip click on the video below:

After watching this clip we realised we hadnt put our pictures in the correct order. This helped us to understand different camera movements and how still images from the film can lead you to think something different.

When we began plan our short clip of still images we used a story board. This is the template of the storyboard:

We discussed in our group what camera shots and the picture would be of and then filled in  our storyboard so we have a clear plan on how to form the clip to show someone being told bad news.

Here is the storyboard i did to help me produce my video:





This storyboard shows the different camera shots i am planning on doing and the way my actors would be in the shot.

Here is my overall clip of still images showing some bad news being told to someone:
