Continuity piece- The story board, Camera plan and script

We were given a stimuli, for our first simple continuity piece, which was the concept of a somebody walking into a room, and in this room somebody was already presant sitting down, and then to include a conversation between the two charaters. Separetly we all made out individual story board and brought them together once finished to share and discuss ideas with the group. After discussing each subject we decided to go with Nicholas's idea of a student entering a room int he school, and having a conversation with his/her peer. This idea was the most simple and the easiest to apply to a peice of drama, considering we already have a school and class rooms at our disposal, so the piece would be simply realistic.

Using our resraech into The Line of action we drew out a camera plan, which includes a birds eye view of the set, and diagrams of where the cameras will be placed in order to create the desired shots.

Lastly we put together a simple script, of a boy and a girl bunking and when they meet eacother they engage in conversation:
Femi: Oh my god i though you were a teacher.
Nina: (Out of breath) I almost got caught by Mr.Wilson.
Femi: We should have just stayed in class.
Nina: No this is jokes, lessons are boring.

Even though this script was simple, and not exactly amazing, it was effective because it got the job done alowing us to film all the footage we needed, on our next piece will will focus in on these factors, however it was not an issue becuase our piece included everthing needed.
