Today in film, we began much as the last class did by reviewing things we had previously learned. However, this was significantly more necessary, as it served as a refresher for protocol for setting up the camera, final cut pro, and various other things. Granted we had learned all these things before, however with all the intricate details many of us had forgotten, and it was good to review these. We continued by  being tasked with making a storyboard of a scene from the Film Noir mentioned last class (Double Indemnity). This was a good idea, as it got us thinking about the effects and camera angles that should be employed in a film noir, as well as sample dialogue that could be employed for our projects. This was followed up by us having to list all the necessary camera angles, dialogue, rigs, shots and actor movement. All and all, having dissected the scene bit by bit, I feel that I have a greater understanding of the techniques to employ later on in our project.
