This week we are working in our groups to work on the ideas we had come up with the week previous so what are our intentions for the sequence we have to make. Including the genre we had decided on a spy mystery.
What sort of camera angles and shots to use, the character in general, what they’ll be wearing and so on. If they have a accent or a different language, we have also started our final idea for our storyboard so breaking down the scenes to see how long each scene will be and making sure it will be between 1 minute 30 seconds and 2 minutes.
