[VVP/Teens] Pre-Production overview!
On Thursday we got to see the other floor of the museum. This floor you could say was the pre-production floor. It included all the aspects involved in the pre production stage. We saw clothing, props, set designs (miniatures and models) and we had a look at some of the (I guess you could call them) animitronics featured in films. For example we saw the doll used in the production of the Exorcist for the scene where the girls head turns around. It was rather interesting to see how the cinematographer used the camera to conceal the unrealistic line on the doll that allowed it to revolve.
The pre-production process is very interesting and I've had a lot of personal experience with it and have seen how much better things come out when they are properly thought out and planned. Storyboarding is something that at times has proven to be a bit of a drag but I always enjoy seeing how different or similar my shots come out compared to what I drew. It’s an interesting part of film production and I look forward to preparing our PSA's.
