Storyboards

Storyboarding is significant for any media production because it gives a guideline the sequences of what the camera shots, mise-en-scene, editing and sound the director wants. When creating a storyboard every frame needs to include the people who will be in the shot, an explanation of what will happen in the shot for example, facial expressions and the characters movement, the shot inferior or exterior of the location, the equipment which is going to be used for the shot, framing of the shot for example, long shot, if there are extras in the shot, mise-en-scene in the shot such as, costume and make up, camera angle and the camera movement for example, tilt and pan.

Looking back at then last year when we started storyboarding and filmed I have learnt that we have to create a storyboard and to refer to the storyboard when filming, because when you do not look at your storyboard when filming the editing becomes difficult and the shots are fragmented.
This year we need our storyboard to be precise, detailed and we need to analyse the shot types due to last year when we filmed there was a lack of lighting and we needed to film again.
Also, we need to film more than we need so we can have a range of shots for example, filming a range of angles for one camera shot, this benefits us when editing which will increase our marks. Everyone in our group needs to film as well because we will have our individual opinions of what camera shot or angle will look better.
We need to be more organised this year for example, last year we use post stick notes and drew each shot of one post stick note, this was impractical because of the rain and wind when we were filming. We have decided to laminate our storyboard so it will handle the bad weather and the pen ink will not run.
This is an example of a storyboard:
