Jelly Baby Activity

The jelly baby work involved creating a storyboard for a film of our choice - taken from a list of briefs - and using the jelly babies, in substitute for characters, to interpret the different scenes and the framing of the shots.  By doing this, we could easily experiment with different shots and characters in each scene to see what would work well and give off the most fitting atmosphere.  By creating the storyboard this way, on post-it-notes and with jelly babies, it meant you could easily re-order the scenes if the need occurred. 




The opening of our jelly baby activity consisted of the following camera shots:


Personally, the activity made me more aware of how to position the characters effectively in the shots in association with their surroundings and props.  It was good being able to easily move around the jelly babies, to experiment with their positioning and see where they looked best in the shots which will help when we're creating the storyboard for our film.
