Storyboard
On the 8th December 2014 we were discussing Storyboard's as a class and we were discussing the conventions of a good storyboard. We said that it needs to precise and accurate; containing key information including shot duration, props, characters present in the scene and the camera shot of the cut. It also needs to be shot by shot to be as clear and accurate as possible and this ensures that the script supervisor knows exactly what is happening and when it is expected to happen. We should also makes annotations to due with dialogue, lighting, props, costumes, camerawork, sound, editing and mise en scene to ensure that our storyboard is as clear as possible. This will make sure that we do not miss anything out and make any continuity mistakes because they look unprofessional and messy. The storyboard also needs to match our ideas and make sense to us because otherwise it is unecessary.
Above are pictures of our Storyboard which is made up of 17 individual cuts which are a range of fast and slow paced cuts. They also last different periods of time, however they do not vary too much because we want it to run smoothly and not last to long per cut. There is a slideshow of each cut which shows you what we plan to include in each cut; this includes shot duration, props necessary, type of shot as well as any editing techniques which may be used. There is also pictures of the full sized storyboard's and so you can clearly see what is happening from one cut to the next.
Shooting Script
04/02/2015
This is the shooting script that Katie and I created in order to keep our filming as organised as possible. It shows all of the cuts, events, sound, mise en scene and necessary information which we need to ensure that we make no continuity mistakes. However, like our storyboard, some of the elements may change depending on whether Katie, Tommy and I think they are necessary or if we think they work well and look professional. It is fairly detailed but doesn't include too much information because otherwise we would get confused on what goes where and who goes where.
