Storyboard 1

A storyboard is an essential tool for laying out a video or film project to communicate the look of a piece"

After finalising our script we were then able to move onto our storyboard. Storyboarding is extremely important within film making as it is a visual representation of the story, which we will allow the crew to picture it correctly. It must be created together as a group otherwise each member of the crew will have their own interpretation of what particular parts of the film will look like creating confusion and chaos during the shoot and even before. Storyboards must contain a variety of shots, as to prevent boredem, and a range of cutaway shots must be included.

When researching on how to create successful storyboards I found that storyboards first developed by Disney Studios back in the 1930’s for their early animated films and used in Hollywood ever since as a standard art director’s palette for visually expressing scripts or screenplays, storyboards are now employed throughout the entertainment and advertising industries
