Today we were drilled on the importance of fully planning our shots. Some sort of system for translating a script is absolutely necessary. The traditional method is: Script –> storyboard –> shot list –> shooting order.
This is especially useful for me to hear, as my first impulse is to grab the camera and start filming stuff. But film isn’t video; it’s expensive. And considering this, I’m thinking my idea for the first assignment might be too ambitious. I wanted to do an on-location shoot in eastern Washington, on a dusty country road and a motel. But that might require at least 2 rolls of film.
