"Tyrannosaur Swede" Short Film

The above video is the complete and edited version of our class' "Tyrannosaur Swede".

Tyrannosaur Swede: Reshoot

In our Wednesday (25th November) lesson we carried out the reshoot of our "Tyrannosaur Swede".
This time round we had divided up the roles of director, cinematographer, screen-play writer, storyboard artist, and producer (who was in charge of the call-sheet,) prior to carrying out the shoot; this allowed us to be significantly more organised and efficient.

I was tasked with being the cinematographer for scene 1, and with writing the screen play for scene 3 (as shown below.) In total there were 3 scenes.
We changed certain shoot locations for our reshoot, as the original locations lacked the lighting we needed. We exaggerated the killing of the dog, (for which we used a more realistic prop this time, which helped the verisimilitude,) as this added extra comedic value. We also followed the advice to take multiple shots of each scene, as this would help with our editing process (and it certainly did.)

POST PRODUCTION SCRIPT – 23/11/2015

Scene 2:       The Funeral 

1.      EXT: front lawn – DAY

Dark/dim environment (setting the scene). A slightly depressed atmosphere arises during this scene. Various cries and tears bake out. 

VICAR

People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your won attention so you can change your life.

TITLE CARD:          TRANNOSAUR

The End.

Tyrannosaur Shoot (p.2)

What needs to be shot

• Dog race
• (reshoot) Killing of the dog
• Protagonist entering Apple Shop 
• The protagonist coming out of hiding ("Sir, you'll have to come out or I'm going to call the police.)

We need to reshoot the killing of the dog as we did not have the appropriate toy dog. We also need to film more of each scene from multiple different angles, as it allows us to have more footage to edit in post-production. We've learnt that it is vital to have a schedule pre-prepared for what to shoot, as this saves time during the shoot.
