Storyboard/Filming

Second term begins, which means we need to start finalizing our story board as well as considering filming our model. The only major change we decided to make was to make an additional wall, which contained the fiber optics that we initially wanted to incoporate. The wall which contains the fish wire can be used for the ending of our story - this is when the wall eventually disintegrates due to the overcrowding of our space.

We split the tasks where some people will be working on model making, as well as the storyboard. I decided to work on the storyboard and show how overcrowding will take place. But what needs to be kept in mind while drawing is how we are going to film it.

After coming up with a few sketches, we had a small group meeting to discuss how we want to film each of our scenes.

My scene involves the build up of people who start to discover our space. Thus, from this I started to picture crowded areas which in could film in London. I thought the tube would be a perfect place, as the space is limited, which reflects our narrow corridor. This would allow me to incorporate the sounds of a busy crowd into my scene as well. In addition, I tried to picture the feeling of being in a crowd and how I would want to show that in my scene - portraying almost a blurry effect, as if the person is moving frantically in a crowd, or maybe getting dizzy. Rather than showing the figures clearly, it would all be blurred. Or, I could just film the increasing shadows. I would have to try out both ways to see which one suits our scene.

Moreover, I would have to experiment with sound - rather than just capturing the background noise at a set volume, I could play around with sound. For example, by increasing and decreasing the noise at certain parts.
