Planning: Storyboard

Creating a storyboard is useful and is an important stage of planning. It is both useful and important because it gives you a good idea of what the film opening is going to be allowing you to assess the strengths and weaknesses and therefore make improvements should they be required. It gives you a good understanding of what is going to be achieved and it gives you something to build upon. Here below is the storyboard for our film opening;

You can see that our storyboard has good detail which was very useful to our group as it gives us a very accurate idea of what our film opening is going to be like. Also, it makes it much easier for the planning of other things such as the casting, location and mise en scene. This is the case as all the information required to carry out these planning stages is included in the storyboard. Furthermore, it also gave a rough idea of the camera angles/shots/movements etc. that will be used when we come to film and therefore it becomes a very useful tool to refer back to when we come to do the filming for the opening.
