'Wonderland' Storyboard

Here is our estimated storyboard for our trailer 'Wonderland'. We've tried to incorporate every shot in the order it will appear in the trailer hopefully resulting in an order that doesnt involve too much sequential attributes, something that when presenting our idea was brought up.

See 'Wonderland Feeback with Mr Morris' for another look at what he had to say.


Above shows the first 8 scenes of our film trailer 'Wonderland'. It demonstartes on a number of scenes, giving away no obvious plot to the audience.

Out of all the storyboard sheets, these 8 scenes shows the most sequential order with 4/8 shots within this coming from one scene.

As you can see these shots focus on Rob and his time in the drug den.

These scenes shows Rob and Alice in 'Wonderland'.

The last few shots focus on the build up to the end, showing Rob in a desperate trance with the film finally ending by the closing of a door.

'Wonderland' Feeback with Mr Morris

After presenting our 'Wonderland' presentation we asked our Media teacher Mr Morris for some feedback on aspects surrounding the plot.
From his feedback we can try and take potential weak spots to the trailer and manouvre them into positives hopefully resulting in success for the trailer.

Saving Private Ryan Trailer Analysis


 
Saving Private Ryan is to many, one of the greatest war films ever made. It’s in detail look of how the Normandy landings happened left the audience captivated and shocked by its realism.
The Normandy landings scene lasts 27 minutes and demonstrates a real in-depth look to how its really happened. Its use of camera angles and movement allowed the audience to feel like they were really within the film and acting as one of the soldiers. This camera work didn’t just last throughout this 27 minutes but all the way through the film, allowing the audience to feel connected with the characters throughout.



Here is a image of a good camera shot

Filming Schedule

Here is our estimated film schedule for our trailer wonderland. Weve tried to split our scenes up into seperate shots allowing us to set a certain date for each shot. With some scenes there are very similiar shots and stuff we can do quickly and relatively easily. With this in mind you will see certain dates coming up 3 or 4 times explaining that we aim to do more than 1 shot per day of filming.

The start date of filming is Saturday October 15th and we aim to finish filming and start editing around early Decemeber. We understand that some of these dates people will be away and filming wont be able to commend. Taking this into account, we have incorporated a contigency time to allow us to finish filming certain scenes and be ready for editing.
