  At the beginning of the film, most of our angles are going to be mid shots and wide shots so the  entirety  of the scene can be seen along with  what's  going on besides th e robbery that’s taking place.  We will also do some  close-up  shots of the character's hands while  they're  grabbing the money  and also  when  they're  putting the money in their duffel bags.  Most of the scenes will be handheld camera movements since we don’t have the necessary equipment for the other movements. If we do need to take a shot that needs to be very  steady,  we will use my tripod. As for props, the characters will have BB guns, not real guns, plain blue plastic masks  and duffel bags. There will also be prop money . The characters will all be wearing all black along with their masks.

The characters are already in the bank and trying to rob the money and threatening people with their guns. The dialogue will mostly be the main characters (Kim) and her brother talking to the bank teller and trying to get the teller to show them where they keep the money. The siblings will be using hand signals as communication. Most of the dialogue is background screaming of people being afraid and worried. We are thinking about filming the film in downtown Sarasota in very pretty parts of downtown that look very luxurious and other parts where it does not look so nice to show that the characters live in that type of neighborhood. We will also film at a nice bank downtown around the daytime. We are going to take pictures of ideas and the banks that there are downtown to see if it is a place we will like to film at. Costumes in scene 1 will be all black with black b...

  While developing my storyboard, I enjoyed drawing the scenes the most because it made it almost look like a comic book which I thought was fun. The only par t s  I found ch allenging about the storyboard were  coming up with the dialogue between the characters  and the action that would be in the scene.  I think from this  experience  that I learned the most about how to choose the mise-en-scene of the scenes and how to choose the best shots, angles, and camera movem ent within each scene.  Doing the storyboard allowed  Juli  and me to perfectly visualize every main scene that would be in our movie. It also allowed us to see what wouldn’t work or look  right after putting them in  order,  so it helped us sequence the scenes in perfect order.    Annemaree  O’Brien  talks about how  one of the key rules while making a film is to keep them short and simple  and that the best way to ensure that ...
