Prelim Storyboard Draft and About Storyboards



How To Create a Storyboard

What Is a Storyboard And Why Is It Necessary To Have One?

A storyboard is a graphic representation of how your video will unfold, shot by shot. It is made up of a number of squares with illustrations or pictures representing each shot, with notes made about what is going on in the specific scene and why. It can even include whats being said in the shot (dialogue).

Making a storyboard may sound tedious and time consuming however it is extremely productive when it comes to he filming.

Storyboards are a visual aid they make it much easier to share and explain your ideas. This also enables other people to understand your ideas more clearly. A stporyboard also makes production considerably easier as is essentially setting up a plan for production that will include all the different kinds pf shots, how they are laid out and how the visuals will interact with the script. It ensures that you will not forget any shots. Most importantly a storyboard also saves you a considerable amount of time. Initially it may seem that constructing a storyboard is time consuming in itself however in the long run it will mean that you are doing many things such as editing and production much more quilcy and efficiently.


Our Groups First Storyboard




During todays lesson my group and I began to piece together our storyboard. After discussing between us how we would split the thriller up into individual shots we began to draw it up. We chose Mariella to draw as she is an art student so she would make a clear representation of our thriller idea. Myself and the two others finalised our thriller story and told marriela what we wanted her to draw. This storyboard is not finalised it is the initial rough copy that will be developed over the year and converted into the final finished piece, however this piece provides a basis that we can work on.
On this storyboard we annotated it with proosed props and ideas for charecter choice.
