Zenith
The zenith project is the most refined and well put together piece that combines all my skills up to this point. I focused on pre-production film processes by creating a series of tutorial videos outlining the techniques along with creating templates that go along with each. I used EricR’s and KirstenA’s zenith project from last year as a model for my own. They both made tools for other students in Freestyle, and I used Eric’s videos as an example for my own and Kirsten’s template as a baseline for mine. The overall project depended a lot on my efficiency in sticking to a schedule, as there are a lot of components. The major challenge was managing everything, inadvertently causing me to depend heavily on my pre-production processes. Everything worked out in a very reflexive way.
Templates
Below are all the templates I made including the shot list, inventory list, stripboard (name and day/night), call sheet, and communication. The options and assets tabs are the “back end” part of the templates with the options linking to other sheets and the assets being all the blocks used throughout the document.
Videos
Here’s my series of 6 videos including topics from the introduction, script lining and breakdown, shot and inventory list, storyboard, scouting and stripboard, and scheduling and communication. I filmed a sitdown of me talking about all the topics and spent the most time editing. My emphasis for the videos was in pre-production with stripboarding and scripting and in post-production with extensive editing to get my message across in each.
