R+P Post 12: Our Storyboard

After creating our timeline, we used it to make a storyboard. We made a storyboard so that we had a plan for the exact framing of each of our shots and what we wanted them to look like when they are filmed. In a similar way, the storyboard was split into the three sections beginning, middle and end. We used a piece of sugar paper and post-it notes for to create our storyboard. By using a large sheet of sugar paper, the three of us had plenty of space and we could all sit around it when working on it together. On the post-it notes we drew out each shot and the framing we would like to use. We also used different coloured post it notes to represent the different types of shots. Orange represented long shots, pink represented mid-shots, green represented close ups and yellow was for the titles/idents. The post-it notes meant that we could change the shot order or framing easily if we weren't happy with it. By using different colours we could also see if we had too many of one type of shot and whether we needed to vary it more. As well as visually representing all of the shots, we added where we were going to position the credits as well.

Our storyboard was very beneficial as it helped us to visualise our shots which would make filming much easier as we know exactly what we wanted from each shot. This will also help for editing as it is a clear representation of the order of the shots in the sequence.
