Research into improvements

I decided to look at my last project (before FMP) and pick up from the feedback that I needed to improve on, to ensure that my FMP film was the best it could possibly be.

I looked into Propps character types
From this I learned that I need to apply some of these archetypes to my characters and how they can apply to other films; I also think I have learned that my work needs to be really visual, and to rely on stereotypes as well as subvert them.














From the Caught In The Act project, the lighting was criticised heavily, therefore I looked into lighting and how to light my characters in scenes so that the lighting can reflect the mood I'm trying to create, as well as help frame the shot and focus on what I want the audience to look at.





I also looked into colour theory to also help reflect the mood I intend to set in my short film, however this will be used in post production mainly as we plan to slightly tint the film to a slightly blue shade, to reflect the trust and stability in the relationship between the characters, but also hint on the sadness and depression the characters are feeling.


 From previous projects I have found that my storyboards haven't been the best they could be, I looked into a few tutorials and basic symbols and signs that are followed to help make my storyboards more easy to read and follow on shoot. The tutorials have also helped with my time management and to create a shooting schedule and shot list to help use the time on shoot more effectively.
