“The assumption that seeing is believing makes us susceptible to visual deception. What is known is not necessarily what is believed, what is shown is not necessarily what is seen, and what is said is not necessarily what is heard”.Kathleen Hall Jamieson

JUMP SCARE PLANNING AND FILMING ACTIVITY

STORYBOARD TEMPLATE

JUMP SCARE PLANNING DOCUMENT

Remember that a good jump scare requires a set-up.  Take some time to set the scene.  Don’t rush it! Build some suspense! Use music to create some mis-direction and then use audio elements to emphasise the scare.

In this task I want you to storyboard your jump scare scene.

Provide shot angles, duration and description of action.

Once you have created your planning document.  Go and film your scene.
In a word document, write down what worked and what did not.  How can you improve your end result?

Upload the plan, filming and reflection to One Drive and Share.
