Outside Media Research

Clip Development - Going Well
Just planned out my storyboard, safe to say that it's borderline controversial! Knowing us we'll screw something up along the line. The film is an action parody sort of thing, involving me as the main character (Obviously). We also learned about the 180 degree rule, which is pretty useful for when filming.
