Planning Sequence

The planning sequence was the most fun as we were able to share all of our ideas and discuss whether they would work or not. Once we came up with a scenario for our piece we then planned it out via storyboard. This was interesting as we came to terms with the amount of individual shots that actually go into film. A film storyboard is essentially a large comic of the film or some section of the film produced beforehand to help film directors, cinematographers and clients visualize the scenes and find potential problems before they occur. Often storyboards include arrows or instructions that indicate movement. Another thing that me and my group did to help plan our sequence, was to create a map for the camera. We went through the storyboard, and mapped out and labelled where the camera was going to be for every single shot. This took a really long time, but ended up being very helpful when we came to film.
