A storyboard is one form of preperation for a any feature length or short film. It creates direction and allows for shots, angles and sound to be thought about before actual filming is conducted. This saves time and most importantly money within the film industry as there is less confusion and fuss when shooting begins. Shots are thought about with the script and how each part needs to be shown from the camera's perspective, the diagram's help as directors have a basis to work on when framing the actual shots. Any sound and movement that the camera makes is also noted.
Storyboarding was a fairly easy process in which, working with the script, a storyboard was compiled to use when shooting to make the most effective film possible. The whole group made several creative descisions by means of a discussion throughout the storyboarding process, one example of this was to decide to cut to a reaction shot in the form of a close up. This was decided to add more effect to the scene in question. Here's a sample of our storyboard:
As you can see it a basis for our shots. When it comes to filming we used this as a guidline for our framing.
