The mysterious part of it, though, is that the joining of those pieces-the "cut" in American termi­ nology 4-actually does seem to work, even though it represents a total and instantaneous displacement of one field of vision with another, a displacement that sometimes also entails a jump forward or backward in time as well as space.

  • Topic 106 TV Production-Dailies & Previews
    Camera Basics, Principles & Techniques-MCD 401 VU Topic 106 TV Production-Dailies & Previews Dailies, in filmmaking, is the raw, unedited footage shot during the making of a motion picture. They are so called because usually at the end of each day, that day's footage is developed, synced to sound, and printed on film in a batch (and/or telecined onto video tape or disk) for viewing the next day by the director and some members of the film crew. However, the term can be used to refer to any raw footage, regardless of when it is developed or printed. Another way to describe film dailies is "the first positive prints made by the laboratory from the negative photographed on the previous day. In addition, during filming, the director and some actors may view these dailies as an indication of how the filming and the actors' performances are progressing. In some regions such as the UK and Canada, dailies are usually referred to as rushes or daily rushes, referring to the speed at which the prints are developed. Film dailies can refer to the viewing of dailies on film in a theater. In animation, dailies are also called rushes or Sweat Box sessions. Dailies are usually viewed by members of the film crew either early in the morning before filming starts, during the lunch break, or in the evening after filming ends. It is common for several members of the film crew including the director, cinematographer, editor and others to view and discuss the dailies as a group, but some productions opt to distribute multiple copies of the dailies for individual viewing.

A storyboard is a visual representation of a whole film. It allows filmmakers to plan and see how the finished film will look on screen. It is a series of drawings which either shows each scene from your film or, for more detail, each shot. By planning your shots in advance you can help minimise mistakes. You can identify any shots that might not work and take them out before you pick up the camera. A storyboard not only illustrates the director’s vision for his/her film, it is also a useful tool for the camera operator and editor. It helps them understand exactly how shots should be framed and their correct order. Storyboard structure There are a variety of ways of storyboarding your film: Scene by scene If you want to just draw each scene, you can create an accompanying shot list detailing the camera shots and movements you’ll use. A shot list is useful because it lists the camera shots in order so you can tick them off as you film. This helps ensure that no shots are missed out.

  • The Storyboard
    The Storyboard The Advantages of Storyboarding By Kylene Arnold Storyboards are pictures of each shot in a film [as visualized by the filmmaker before actual shooting of the film begins]. They may be as simple as stick figures or as complex as full-color illustrations created by a storyboard artist. However, regardless of their level of complexity, their function remains the same: to develop and communicate the director's vision to other crew members and executives. Some famous directors, such as Alfred Hitchcock, considered them an indispensable part of the pre-production process because of the advantages he gained from this previsualization technique. Refined Vision Storyboards force the director to translate his broad vision for the film into concrete, executable shots. During the storyboarding phase, he can experiment with different camera angles, Page 1 of 4 reorganize scenes or cut them to see how they impact the story. Some directors use storyboards as a reference during production to help them remember all of the shots they planned. They may also use them as a way to communicate their vision to producers or investors. Problem Identification A storyboard can serve as a paper edit of the movie, which allows you to identify weaknesses that may not otherwise be apparent until post-production. For example, when you "see" your film, you may discover that the pacing is slow, that several visually similar scenes are lumped together or that a particular scene is going to require more props, extras or visual effects than you had thought. Because storyboards are a tool that you can show to others, it allows them to help you identify these weaknesses and improve the film before you shoot it.

  • Storyboard Background-Information Styles, Tipps and Methods
    Storyboard Background-Information Styles, Tipps and Methods By Saskia Petrenz [email protected] Contents Introduction 3 Mindset of the storyboards artist: Who he is and what he does 4 Storyboard Styles 6 Work-Flow 8 Composition 11 Lighting and Color 12 Tips/Methods 15 Dictionary 17 Questionnaire 18 Sources 19 2 Introduction This paper will give a general overview about storyboards, information about different styles of storyboards and how to use them. The mindset of a storyboard artist and his work-flow will also be explained. Additionally composition and the use of light in storyboards will be explained as well as some handy tips and tricks. At the end a dictionary lists eventually necessary technical terms. What is a storyboard? A storyboard is a suggestion. It gives a possible basic setup for a scene including general camera setups and lighting. It allows advance organization, frame by frame and shot by shot what is going to be happening dur- ing shooting. The function of a storyboard is to indicate and illustrate all shots needed for the final product. It does this by pre-visualizing the written word (screenplay) and its structure. Also any visual effect will be indi- cated in the storyboard, this means that modern Special Effects Films are more demanding on storyboards. A storyboard serves the visual needs of the director of photography and special effects team. The director and director of photography will go over the storyboard to decide on the needed cameras/ lenses/filters/lighting equipment etc. Also the producer, director, cinematographer and production designer will want to see visuals and illustrated SFX (Special Effects) to estimate cost, the set up for shots and decide on cameras, lighting and framing.

  • UNIT-II Pre and Post
    UNIT-II Pre and post - production planning - functions, duties and responsibilities of the crew members. Art direction - location - floor management - out-doors and indoors - lighting - management of live shows / live telecast - sports coverage etc. PRE AND POST - PRODUCTION PLANNING The Production Process The production process refers to the stages (phases) required to complete a media product, from the idea to the final master copy. The process can apply to any type of media production including film, video, television and audio recording. The stages in each medium vary; for example, there is obviously no storyboard in an audio recording. However the same general concepts work for any medium. The three main stages of production are: Pre-production: Planning, scripting & storyboarding, etc. Production: The actual shooting/recording. Post-production: Everything between production and creating the final master copy. PRE-PRODUCTION Pre-production is a fairly loose term which refers to the tasks undertaken before production begins. Exactly what is included in this stage depends on the medium and situation. For a small video company, pre-production may refer to everything that happens before shooting begins, for example, meeting with the client, research, storyboarding, location planning, etc. For feature films, pre-production is more specific and only begins when other milestones have been met such as financing, screenplay, casting and major staffing. In this case pre-production includes: Location scouting Prop and wardrobe identification and preparation Special effects identification and preparation Production schedule Set construction Script-locking (semi-finalisation of the script) Script read-through with cast, director and other interested parties STAGES OF PRE-PRODUCTION Finalize a Shooting Script While movies are magical, they don‟t come out of thin air.
