Planning: Storyboarding- Miss Begum

 

 Storyboarding

 

Introduction:

 

A storyboard is a graphic representation of how a film will unfold, shot by shot. It is made up of illustrations or images representing each shot that will be included in a film which is supported by important notes for each shot including the camera shot, location, props, lighting, actors, sound, dialogue, editing and narrative description. A story board is vital to have when creating a film as it used as a plan will be extremely useful as it will help us to understand what we want to achieve and is used as something for us to build on. When it comes to making the film we can use the storyboard to guide us with the film making and it will be less time consuming as we will already know what will be involved in each shot. 

 

Advantages of storyboarding

 

Storyboarding the final idea is advantageous to production companies as it helps bring their film to life and gives them a clear indication of what to expect when they create their film, it allows them to identify the importance of particular elements and allows the director to understand what each scene sets out to achieve and the response it wants to achieve from the audience.  Storyboarding was also advantageous for my group and I as we now know what we must do in order to make our production come to life in the expected form and it helps us to imagine our film making it seem realistic. It also allowed us to have a clear idea as to whether our idea was realistic and what we think we can achieve and what we cannot. This then allowed us to make improvements based on the storyboard.

Conclusion

 

Overall, a storyboard is vital to create before making a film as it allows you develop ideas and insert all the important information for each shot that you want included. When creating my storyboard I added all the important details associated with each shot therefore, when it comes to making the film the director can use the storyboard as a guide and ensure that it is being followed step by step.
