Overall, this added up to about 4 and a half minutes. This gives us a bit of breathing space to make some adjustments to shot length when we come to filming.

  1. Very good shot list, giving a good idea of the film. You need to do your storyboards and animatic asap though, as this was due on Friday. What about the other elements from the deadline list too (eg the concepts linked to question 1b for the exam?). Complete these asap.

  2. Hey it's Josh. Yeah we storyboarded the first dream sequence on Friday but didn't have the chance to film it. And I really didn't understand the other part of the deadline regarding the statement/concepts. I asked a few people I know who do media, even in different classes, and they didn't know what I was talking about either!
