On Thursday we went to the Warner Bros. Studios where the film Franchise Harry Potter was made. We toured around the studios and saw all the different props, costumes, make up and sets that were used in the making of the eight films. It was interesting to see how many props and costumes were made for the characters or sets in the film and how many props that were expensive to make but hardly ever appeared in the actual films.
We also had a lesson on film marketing where I learnt how they story boarded each scene in each movie very carefully and with lots of detail. I also learnt that the director used cardboard models of various sets to plan out what he wanted it to look like and also where he wanted to stage the actors and actress and where he wanted them to move to throughout the scene. This was a good way to plan in advance so both the directors, producers, actors and cameramen knew where to move to and which spots they should be standing or sitting in. This plan would also be helpful to the cameramen so they know where to position their cameras to get the best shot.
I can apply what I learnt to my own Film Opening as I can plan out exactly what I want my actors to be doing the day I film my Film Opening. This will help me film the scenes more accurately and easily. Lastly, I will storyboard in great detail what scenes are going to be where and how I want each scene to be acted.
Here are a few pictures I took on my tour around the Warner Bros. Studios:
