Preliminary Task: creating a storyboard from initial ideas

We  decided as a group that our task will involve a sixth form student, this lead to the opening shot being an establishing shot to show the viewers where the scene is set. we managed to do this in 11 after being set a challenge to do it in 12 shots using a range of different camera shots, movements and angles. We used the 12 shot challenge to ensure our clip was the correct length for filming.










in the lesson I learnt how to create a storyboard in which I only used 12 camera shots to plan an effective short clip, I also learnt about the looking space involved in the filming of shots where a character has room in the shot to look into. I also learnt how to use arrange of camera shots, movements and angles effectively.

  1. Well done Sam. You are working well and I am pleased with your progress to date.

    Can you explain to me how you think going through the process of storyboarding will help to ensure a better end product than just trying to go out and film your raw footage?

    1. By storyboarding i believe it will help to solidify the ideas and ensure that the camera crew have a solid understanding when it comes to the filming of the raw footage of the clip, so that they get all angles, movements and shots correct as we planned them.

    2. This is correct Sam. The time spent storyboarding is paid back ten-fold during filming IF enough time has been spent on it.

      Storyboarding facilitates a discussion of ideas and forces you to consider the shot, angle and movements that will be used during construction.
