Creating a Storyboard

When creating our storyboard we came up with many different ruff drafts until we final stuck with one we liked.

Purpose of a Storyboard

Storyboard definition:

noun
A sequence of drawings, typically with some directions and dialogue, representing the shots planned for a film or television production.

The storyboard is a very important stage in pre-production as it is the guide that helps the production team stick to what they need to film. But it also helps to plan out the logistics of the production stage, such as timing how long it will take to film certain scenes or working out what shots we would be able to do or ones that will illustrate our film opening how we want it to.

We had an original storyboard which we have made to use before starting to film our opening, this was our draft where we were experimenting and trying to work out how we were going to make our idea come to life.

This draft of the story board helped us to understand what was needed in a storyboard to make it effective. 
Looking back our draft, is to vague and we should have taken longer to plan it out. But we learnt from these mistakes and our final storyboard is more detailed and more effective.





















After drawing up our draft we made our real copy, which we will use during our filming, but we have the draft that we can refer to or test old ideas from.
The draft helped when making our real copy as we had an understanding of how our film opening was going to come together and how we should order all our shots.
