Trailer remake: Planning

My first step in planning this small scale, filming research task was to look at how I could recreate the shots in the actual Life of Pi trailer. I created these storyboard like tables which include a drawing of the shot, a technical description of the shot and how I plan to produce it. I have decided, due to the type of th eprops involved that I will use small model toys for characters as it minimises risks of injury which could occur if I were filming real people. It is also easier to shoot a toy boat in a bath for example, than obtain a real boat and shoot at sea. The drawings are very simplistic, but can be understood. There are a total of 36 shots in the trailer that I will be recreating.
