Storybording

As we have now got a title sequence idea, and all of the main narrative elements, key images and main themes decided, it was now time to sort out our story board and camera shots.

Unfortunately this was not as easy as coming up with the ideas. Overall we spent about a week trying to figure out what we were going to do with the camera, and how we were going to shoot the sequence. First we tried tackling the order in which the scene would run. We did this by all putting our ideas forward, until we eventually found one. We then sat down and thought about how we could show this. We went through the scene from start to finish, looking at all of the shot possibilities and seeing what we though would work and what wouldn’t work.

Once we had done all of this we wrote up in order all of the shots that we would have and split the shots up into four sections, from the beginning to the end in order. We would then each take one section and draw up the storyboard for that particular section. The picture above is a blank atoryboard.

Once we had all written up the storyboards, and pieced them all together to make one, we gave it to TK and she drew in the pictures. Once this was done, the storyboards were complete.
