Storyboarding

Storyboard

• The timings of our music video
• Serves as a reminder to us of what specific shots to shoot and to give our actors a general idea of what we want them to do
• Showed us how many shots we needed
• ANNOTATIONS ON REVERSE OF POST-ITS so we could order shots/put in length of shot

Storyboard - On wall behind edit suite

 Wanda put the effort into drawing the Post-Its because of her artistic abilities but we had all previously worked out generally what we wanted to happen and when.
 
The purple represents narrative shots and the green performance to we could create an even balance of the two. At this stage we are still planning where to place all of the performance shots, as the narrative shoot is our priority

 

Example CU of the performance/narrative sketches and the timeline in 5 second increments

In pairs we went around London to film a reccie to get shots for the storyboard

• We practised setting up a shot in a crowded areas and instructing actors from a distance
• The movements of the antagonists
• Listed all the shots we would attempt on the day
• Timed the different journeys to make the most effecient plan for the day
• We could then use these shots to explain to all our actors what was required on the day, to cut down directing time on the day

When we got back to school, Dom spent a week overcoming technical problems to edit the footage into this.
