Juno

 This is our story board list for the film opening of Juno. Here we have included the timings of each shot and what is happening.
Props: Our props that we need is a red jumper, a milk carton.
Location: Our main location is outside the school near the bushes, outside the shops because of the fence and the shop corner. We are also going to places near trees so we can have a leafy pavement. Most of it will be shot on Duffield Road.


The clip:


The filming of my task was done quite well, it was hard to keep up with the certain timings,thats why our story boards helped us. The filming is very similar to this juno clip. The filming is shook sometimes that's why we should of used a tripod because just us holding the camera wasn't steady enough.
Our story board was accurate but it didn't include certain bits like camera slides and flips, that's why near the end of the clip I included it as an effect. In our story board it has basic drawings but gives a lot of detail and an idea. Also the timings were the main help here because we needed to know when to end the clip and when to do certain movements. Through out the whole thing we used the story board and watched the video frequently so we could match the scenes up.
In our group we had strengths in working as a team and coming up with ideas and planning things out. Although our weaknesses was not using the tripod, and getting the camera angles of some shots during this short clip.
I got all the footage that I needed to complete the film as good as possible ,but I had a few clips that could of been improved like the end part outside the building-there was a front and side view of the shop as juno in the film walks down the side, but we done it just as a front view. We also could of used a guitar and other good props but that's what I will improve on next time.
Being able to edit allows me to correct some mistakes, by making clips longer by slowing it down. On adobe I learnt how to slow and reverse clips and well as flip the camera shot. Like in one of the shots we had to flip the clip because we filmed it the wrong way, but it looks good still. Overall I have learnt how to do most things on adobe to help with further productions.
In the next production I will still use the story boards a lot and plan out the timings as well as a good use of available props. I learnt how to use adobe and edit clips very good and how to create certain effects like zoom and slide along etc. and these being used allows certain effect to be given to the watcher. I like how the timings of the clips are in sync like when the camera moves up, it moves at exactly the same time in most places.
