Planning: storyboarding

what is a storyboard?
A story board is a representation of a narrative that has been created, within the storyboard it shows each movement of each character shot by shot. Storyboards are used in order to make filming less stressful and it also means that the actors, directors, camera operators etc. know what to do and when to do it without having to stop and talk about how they will plan out the next scene saving more time to filming and focus on other element of the films.
Its extremely vital that a storyboard contains the following: cinematography, iconography, lighting, actors, sound, narrative, location, duration and the Number of shots.
Including all of these in a storyboard will make producing the scene a lot easier as the producer and the director can work with and around the information they have on the storyboard. Storyboards also ensure that you don't forget any shots/ scenes by accident or other production crew members need to step in  change something for e.g. change i light, change in sound etc.

  1. A good start where you identify the relevance and need of storyboarding before actually filming. You do need to however include your actual storyboard as evidence that this has been done.

  2. Well done, storyboard has now been included to demonstrate further evidence of good planning. Make sure this is what you and your group follow when filming.
