Storyboarding

Storyboarding was a long and strenuous task. I spent a long time making the storyboards. Storyboards are made up of:



  • Drawings (To my luck, I am a terrible drawer barely able to draw more than stick figures...)

  • Description of action/dialogue (I included a lot of detail for each scene)

  • Shot type (Long shot, close-up, medium shot etc)

  • Camera position/movement (panning, high angle, pull-backs etc)

  • Notes

After 14 pages of storyboards, I feel that anyone who picks it up can see my story just as I do.


I think that next time, I should start on my storyboards earlier because although I had drawn the pictures, the descriptions next to them took a long time to write. As a result, it took me hours to finish off my storyboards tonight.



I played around with opening titles for my film. I think that French Script MT will be the best choice.


I also looked at different music I could use. I'm thinking Moonlighy Sonata by Beethoven would sound good playing in the background.



If I could do this assigment again, I would definitely use my time better and not leave most of the descriptions to the last minute. I finished my treatment early which was a positive, and was pretty much happy with it. However, as I was storyboarding I had a few new ideas so I changed the treatment accordingly. Next time, I will definitely be more aware of how much time the descriptions next to the storyboards take to write and explain, so I will priorotise them as opposed to doing all the drawings first without writing the descriptions.
