As a homework task I went away and watched the first two minutes of a film and story board about it, I chose to storyboard the film Australia, I did this on a few sheets of paper, drew a few pictures of what the shot looked like. I wrote about the shots used, the amount of time each shot was kept on screen for, the camera movement used such as still- slow- fast, whether or not the shot has a soundtrack behind it and also the dialogue used. This task I believe was to show us how much camera work is actually used in a short amount of time in a film, it also showed me how much detail obviously went into planning and shooting it, as the film maker had to shoot it in the Australian outback to keep in with the films theme, otherwise the entire films feel and effect would be completely destroyed.
I will check this on paper. It would be useful to do a British film too to compare Hollywood to more indie style, home grown movies. This is also important to help you design your own film as you will not be able to create the effects of a Hollywood blockbuster!
