WHAT IS A STORYBOARD

 What is a Storyboard.

To prepare for the making of our storyboards for our opening sequences, we learned about the importance of them:

A storyboard is a sequence of images/drawings that represent the narrative of the chosen section to be illustrated, accompanied by notes. They usually consist of: the shot number, location, action, shot (movement), sound, lighting, transition and timing. These come in use for practically every member of the creative team of a production.

Before filming, these are highly valuable as it assists in the planning of camerawork, helps you make deliberate choices in mise-en-scene, maximises time spent shooting, and acts as a visual plan, allowing you to communicate your idea/vision clearly to the production team. Post-filming, these act as a guide for the editor, helping the narrative to flow.

Things that are considered when creating storyboards are: camera composition/framing (rule of thirds, foreground, background, symmetry, asymmetry etc.) and editing (placing shots that either flow tone wise, or even juxtapose each other).
