Storyboarding

We had a lesson on the importance of storyboarding and how to storyboard. We watched a 15 minute video of directors talking about how important storyboards are to the making of the film. I found out that throughout the making of a film, the storyboard is thoroughly refered back to and used to cancel out mistakes aswell as saving time and money because everything is already decided. These are my notes on the importance of storyboarding.

After this, we got given a template and had to make up a chase scene and produce a short storyboard with the title 'terror in the night' I hadn't done anything on storyboarding before so this was really interesting and helped me understand what's involved in storyboarding and what to include. We had to include the camera angle/movement/position, how long the shot lasts and the sound/dialogue included.
