Storyboarding

Storyboard is like a Timeline but it allows you to visualise the shots individually and makes it really easy to go through the each shot type that you should use and why you should use it. The storyboard works out the type of shot, angle, movement, the colours and shapes, mise en scene and how the picture composition rules will be applied in the film. Anything and everything is thought about in the storyboard so that no time is wasted on the shoot. We only have one to shoot so we need to have everything ready. The storyboard is the plan you shoot to if it works on paper that makes it a lot less expensive then to waste time on camera for hours yet day.

On our story board we had a shot that started with a close up of her mouth and had a slow track outwards to revile herself and the rest of the band. We drew this out on the storyboard to see it this would work. We found the tracking would really work because it makes you feel closer with the person. This also will be really smooth making it feel calm which would go with the tempo of the song. We then drew out that the part of the song where it was loads of quick sharp shots that will go with the fast tempo so that it will look exciting and will draw people in. We chose to use loads of close ups on her face so that the audience feel intimate with the main character and connect more to her.

This is a video of an example of storybording. This video shows the prosscess of storyboarding we went through our storyboard like this.
