1. PreliminaryTask 2. IntroductionDuring this preliminary task, myself and other group members (Harry Edward and Holly Fairbairn) willcreate a screenplay and storyboard that depicts our Whats up Doc? scenario. With this scenario, we willproduce a short preliminary video in order to practise production and editing skills. During this this task,we will showcase new skills learned when thinking about framing and shot techniques.We created a screenplay in order to better plan what will happen in the scenes. This will aid us in theproduction of this short video because it allows us to envision what the scene will look like by including aslug line, scene direction and dialogue. It also includes character cues, allowing us to know who isspeaking and when they should begin.The storyboard contains images of the scenes and a visual of the shots and some editing techniques that wewill use throughout the production of the preliminary task. It also contains the shot numbers and anysounds that we will use, such as soundtracks to accompany a scene. 3. ScreenplayScript 4. INT.
