AFP #1 – Boundaries (Pre-Production)

With the group and roles sorted out. Our main priority wad to cone up with two stores for the pitch. By the first meeting Er had already coke ip withbtwo premised for Teo stories however the main thing thatvwr always had trouble with was coming up with an inciting incident so thayva change in the story or chargers cab occur.
It was only during our very first casting session that we had a story with an inciting incident, where for a good two hours we threw whatever idea we had on the whiteboard in the sound stage. Only then was the scriptwriter able to come up with the script.

As the dop, my primary role was to help out the director with her shotlisy and scoreboard, tur planning of the shots and also plan where I would place the camera and lights while on location scout. I would also have to had ‘translate’ the storyboard onto the overhead floorplan where it would enable me to have a better view on the placements of the camera for the different shots and to watch out for any potential jumpcut shots and or crossing of the line of action.
