Storyboarding - What is it?


Before you film:

  • It creates a precise format that helps you solidify your shots, camera angles, and lighting etc.
  • It organizes the order of your shots, the idea and outcome.
  • It’s also a communication tool for the director and crew. It's showing the story not telling it.
  • It also means that when in a group you can all share the same vision so there's no miscommunication.
  • you have time to plan beforehand instead of on set
  • you can also experiment
  • it allows you to visually see the edit,what order? what happens next?
  • how are you going to edit it all together?
After you film
  • for the editor
  • they have an order of the shots
  • it's not necessarily set in stone but they can use it as a basic structure 
We learnt how to structure our story boards with the picture on the left and information on the right, if our  pictures/drawings are very visual then we need little description.

What us on the storyboard:
  • mise-en scene 
  • description of what's happening 
  • shot number
  • location
  • action 
  • shot/movement
  • sound
  • lighting
  • transition
  • timing of shot
Things to take into consideration
  • camera composition and framing: rule of thirds, foreground/background, symmetry and asymmetry- how can it look visually interesting?
  • editing: the shot after, how it will work when edited together, either through juxtaposing it or even how the shot types match
