Preliminary Task: Creating a Storyboard From Initial Ideas

We  decided as a group that our task will involve a sixth form student, this lead to the opening shot being an establishing shot to show the viewers where the scene is set. we managed to do this in 11 after being set a challenge to do it in 12 shots using a range of different camera shots, movements and angles. We used the 12 shot challenge to ensure our clip was the correct length for filming.

In the lesson I learnt how to create a storyboard in which I only used 12 camera shots to plan an effective short clip, I also learnt about the looking space involved in the filming of shots where a character has room in the shot to look into. I also learnt how to use arrange of camera shots, movements and angles effectively. Going through the process of storyboards it will help us to plan our shots more effectively and be more organised when it comes to filming. It will make filming a lot easier as we will already know what type of angle, shot and movement is needed for each shot of filming. Also, the quick sketches can give us a rough image of how we want each shot to end up like.
