Blog 7 pre visualization materials

I have known for some time now how important pre production materials are. I have up to this point only taken the time to do a few storyboards here and there. However, doing all the pre vis materials for the master shot sequence has been great. I really have learned the importance of having these when you shot, and how helpful they are in developing a overal structure for your film idea. Having an idea is one thing, but when you take the time to plan out your idea a see what is possible the idea takes on a life of its own and becomes something more. It was more challenging than I anticipated to try and think through all the shots for the bran and park. I think it's cool looking back to see how done shots worked and others had to be replaced. Overal all I found that this assignment has tought me one of the most important skills I will ever learn as a film maker and I'm glad to have learned it.
