Storyboarding

Our storyboard is 4 pages long; 4 shots on each page but we haven't storyboarded our flashbacks because we're still not entirely sure what we're doing in those short scenes, so we will draw them up and then stick them all together on a huge piece of paper!

A storyboard is what's happening or what is going to be happening in the shot/scene/sequence/film; but on paper. This helps the director, cameraman and other members of a filming team to understand what is going on in the shot/scene/sequence/film and because it's visual, it makes it quicker to film and easier to realise if there's something missing.

Our storyboard should be a massive help to my group because our story can be quite confusing. For example we keep getting confused as to which flashback comes first and which shot goes where, as we're not necessarily filming them in order.

Also we've changed the beginning of our sequence which adds more tension and confusion for the audience, which is exciting! So we need to storyboard this idea as well but we need to use as little cliché elements as possible so our idea will be more original and thrilling. Our new beginning may be difficult to film but there's 4 of us in our group so we can maybe split into 2 groups and film different bits of this scene.
Also, we need to assign roles to each member of the group; for example one be in charge of mise en scene, another in charge of costumes and props, one for the actual camera (movement and shots) and one for something else.
