R+P Post 11: Our Storyboard

To start of the pre-production process we decided to create a storyboard in order to show the different shots that would be used and to give us a visual representation of how our final opening sequence would appear (although it is unlikely that they will match up completely). Before creating our storyboard we made a rough timeline of 2 minutes (stretching across two A3 sheets of paper), marking 10 second intervals throughout, to allow us to jot down some main ideas and shots that we would like to use, whilst bearing in mind the time allocation given in our specification.

Our storyboard was then made on an A3 sheet of paper, using post-it notes to sketch the shots we came up with so that we could move them around if need be. We colour-coded them (yellow-titles, purple-close up, green-mid shot, blue-long shot) so that visually, we could see how it would look using a variety of shot types. However, upon finishing our story board and then creating our animatic off of it, we discovered that some of the shots didn't work in sequence with each other (for example, the story wasn't clear because we jumped from location to location - inside to outside to inside), so we went back to our storyboard and moved some of the shots around as well as adding some new ones in.
